Creative Fire

The good news is that a week or so out from the next Twelve by Twelve Colourplay reveal day, I have at least one piece completed. Just the same, every time I walk into my studio, I see this shibori with the Kilauea palette on my design wall and I keep thinking I should do something with it!

At first, I decided against using this shibori for the challenge as I didn’t want to cut into it – don’t we all get that feeling sometimes? Now I can see some potential in cutting out a 12×12 square for a wholecloth work and using the leftovers in another 12×12 piece.

It’s all a question of time and priorities and I don’t know that I can fit this in over the weekend before I head off to the Australasian Quilt Convention in Melbourne. As Heather Bennett has recorded on her blog, even small-scale art quilts take many hours to design, construct, quilt and finish. I may need to keep the creative fire burning a little longer…
