Sometimes necessity inspires creativity. Other times it is a burning need to make something new, different – or just the act of being creative.

I’m new to quilting but have sewn off and on for many years. I’ve always been drawn to color and patterns, but I like that with quilting, something I made may be handed down to future generations.

My inspiration for quilts often comes from the colors in the outdoors. Right now I’m making a quilt with all sorts of purples – inspired by the wood violets growing in my lawn and the grape hyacinths in my flower garden.

I am inspired to create to express my love for people – I almost exclusively create gifts for the people I love. I rarely sew for myself (though I am planning a quilt for myself & my husband for our bed – it is totally for me he would sleep under anything but he is supportive of my need to make something really beautiful).

I get most inspired when I think about giving away a quilt or project and I start to think about what the recipient would really love. For some reason, if I don’t have a person in mind when I start sewing, it falls flat and I rarely finish.
