  1. I get inspired by so many things--usually quilt shows and retreats and seeing what others are creating gives me the spark to start a new project.

  2. I receive many quilt magazines by subscription. When I see a pattern I really like, I immediately start thinking about fabric choices, etc. That is how I end up with 5 or 6 projects in progress at one time!

  10. See several different things can inspire me: the fabric, especially a fat quarter bundle, a pattern, a photo, nature, color and wanting to share my love of quilting with a gift!

  11. Usually it's seeing a pattern or a quilt that I love. I have so many things that I want to make someday that I will never have enough time to make them all. And there are always new things that inspire me that push some of the other things aside for the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  12. What got me to start quilting was the birth of a grand child. But what inspires me is looking through Blogs and other sewing web sites. I some times dream about patterns. Thanks for the fun.

  13. Seeing a quilt design that will challenge me is what gets me excited about new projects

    ReplyDelete
  14. Colors and patterns inspire me - I'm still new at quilting and everyone in the family is wanting their own personal homemade goodie! So when I see something colorful or fun in a pattern that just speaks to me about a family member - I'm off to the races!!! And then I still have trouble giving it away - each item is so personal, I almost don't want it to leave me, until I think of how excited the recipient might be, then I'm excited all over again!!!

  36. I'd say my biggest inspiration and motivation comes from boredom. When I go the closet and don't see anything fresh and exciting to wear… When I look around at my home and notice that things need an upgrade… When I get bored with the TV/computer/etc and feel a need to just DO something. I also get inspired when I need a gift for someone. I'd much rather MAKE than buy.

    ReplyDelete
