Seasonal influences

No more finished pieces but this seems to be a time for inpiration. Is it because it is spring? Maybe this is when the ideas flow, summer and autumn I develop them and in winter I actually finish. Spring is my favourite season.

Loose Threads had a meeting on Friday, everyone could make it this time (no snow!) except Liz who is still out in Pakistan and there was a lot to discuss. Mary had been putting together our Ice challenges, and everyone brought their tree pieces. We talked through a lot of ideas and I came away feeling so inspired it was difficult to sleep. The next morning the sun came out and for me the sun always inspire a need to dye for some reason. Of course life is getting in the way and I won’t be doing any this week - family visits, other projects, other work. This morning I need to finish a row for a Row Robin quilt I am making with my other group but maybe this afternoon I can get a couple of ideas down in my sketchbook. I might also make a few more leaves - an idea I have for the Nature in Art exhibition in 2011 that will require a few hundred of them. Watch this space.
