Creativity....where do you find it?
Frustration is running at max today, so rather than starting to scream, I thought I would ask where you find your Creativity? Can you buy it at the LQS? Must I take a class? Or am I destined to copy the work of someone else forever?
Sorry, I ramble. I am working at quilting a top my mother made before she passed and it just isn't easy. She had many issues with tucks, mis-matched points, no points, etc. It didn't help that she picked a very difficult pattern as her first quilt, nor did she understand the necessity of a consistent 1/4" seam. BUT....I have decided to finish her quilt as is, no corrections because I want it to be her quilt, not mine. I bought new backing, and super high loft poly batting, thinking that the batting would take up some of the puffy areas of the quilt and it is working to a point (am really hoping for some shrinkage of cotton fabrics when I wash it). I have found that the very center star lays relatively flat, so I want to do some pretty fmq, but my mind just can't find anything that works, or is the right size, hence the frustration.
What do you do when you need some type of custom design? Does your mind automatically just say "oh yeah, this will work"...and it does? Mine sure isn't doing much of anything except whining....LOL.
