Usually, the creative side of me gets a project going. Sometimes it's a piece of fabric I notice on the shelf. I think I need to do something with this. Then I find a bunch of stuff to go with it or I flip through the patterns and find something to start me off. But I have to be in the mood or everything I sew needs to be ripped out. When it gives me a headache, or nothing looks good, I have to leave. Then I think I will never quilt again, that I'm no good at this, and I go do something else. Eventually I come back, the creativity comes back, and I start again. That is why I'm so slow. I can't do these things on a deadline.
Only for the love of doing it.
