The first time I went to a Quilting Workshop, Margaret Miller was one of the presenters. She introduced her new book & then went into a slide show. She said the when they had moved/built their new house, she got her own sewing room. She showed a slide that made us all shrink in guilt over the comparison with our spaces. After a pause, she said: "No, this is the room to show you what I think it should look like." She swapped slides, and said " This is what my sewing room looks like for real." It looked just like the rest of ours look. Stacks, piles, half-finished projects on her design wall, etc. We all laughed in relief, and she reassured us that the creative process is chaotic, messy and uncertain.
