How about some post cards?!Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12327381.post-1117100813058298262005-05-26T03:46:00.000-06:002005-05-26T03:46:00.000-06:00Logan, over the past few months, when I feel unins...Logan, over the past few months, when I feel uninspired to create I make something anyway. I force myself. It has worked well for me and I still get some cool things done. I don't feel at all inspired at the moment and haven't for over a month, but I just keep plugging along. Even that great PAQA meeting didn't inspire me, so I know that I'm in a BIG A@% FUNK. Wallow a little, roll in the stash and clean, but finally make something. We need to keep our pity parties to a minimum amount of time otherwise we believe them.

At the same time, I read the first few chapters of the Barbara Olson book, and she recommends meditation as a means of centering the creative energies. Guess I'll just have to try meditating.<BR/><BR/>Re: your unpicking issues, Pangaea - have you considered sitting outside on your deck or in your garden, in a comfy chair, with a glass of lemonade and your stitch ripper? Make the unpicking into a garden meditation. Sun, flowers, bees buzzing, hummingbirds visiting, etc. Just think of what nesting birds could do with all of those loose thread bits!Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678456201317022273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12327381.post-1117059697254208522005-05-25T16:21:00.000-06:002005-05-25T16:21:00.000-06:00That sounds delightful--rolling around in your sta...That sounds delightful--rolling around in your stash and all--may I join you?<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean, having a creative block. I lovingly created a totally original, one-of-a-kind art/story quilt top, and was extremely happy with it. As it was too big for my home machine, I trustingly placed my treasure into the hands of a self-confessed, excellent long-arm quilter. The results were mixed. Some original, beautiful quilting, and some that even a child could have done, and the rest so out of sync with the theme of the quilt, that I could have cried. Am still fighting the tears every time I look at it. Have had a creative block ever since. Do you think that if I roll around with you amongst all those feathers and beads, I might get my nerve up to start unpicking the worst of the quilting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
