What are your thoughts on being CREATIVE?
This is the definition from Encarta:
Definitions of creative (adj)
cre·a·tive [ kree áytiv ]
able to create: able to create things
new and original: using or showing use of the imagination to create new ideas or things
resourceful: making imaginative use of the limited resources available
I think every quilter on this board, whether they follow anothers pattern or not, fits this. Rarely do we pick the same colors, everyone adds a little of themselves to each quilt. Ten people can make the same quilt and it will look 10 ways different. We are all resourceful.
Tell hubby he definitely has it backwards. :lol: :lol: :lol:
