Catching up

I am just back from a few days with my Mum who lives in Wales.  It is always a lovely break for me and my boys and when I look back I find that a lot of my quilts have a welsh connection of some kind.  One of my City & Guilds pieces was inspired by a windy day at Aberaeron, another wallhanging used stone walls from a welsh castle as a starting point.  At other times I have simply been able to plan a quilt in my mind or solve a textile problem, I think because I am away from home and the everyday cares of running a household.  Not that I don’t help out at my Mum’s - I wouldn’t get away with that! - and I still have the children to look after.  But the lack of responsibilities definitely helps my creativity and I am back with several ideas and keen to get started on new projects.  Is this me or is it a female problem?  I don’t really know.
