Fill Your Quilter’s Inspiration Bag
Do you have a quilter’s Inspiration Bag? The idea came to me as I read Emily’s message in her Quilters Village Newsletter.
She had just returned from the International Quilt Festival in Chicago and mentioned her bag of inspiration…items she’d collected while at the show (fabrics, fun fusible, funky art items, bright thread, hand dyed fibers, gold fabric paint). Emily was anxious to begin creating from her collection and thought the rainy day they were experiencing was perfect. Then she mentioned that you didn’t have to attend the show to have such a bag or have a rainy day.
Simply “fill a box or bag with fabric, batting, thread - and anything else you’ve been wanting to try - and keep it at the ready when the rain rolls in. On second thought…why wait for rain? Go get creative and quilt right now!”
Yes! I thought. This is a great idea.
Why not put some items into a special bag (the one my daughter made from denim patches and appliqued butterflies) and have it ready to pull out when I need a project or inspiration. I also can take my Inspiration Bag with me when I travel or know I’ll have to wait somewhere. Perhaps a smaller bag to tuck into my carry-on luggage for waiting at airports.
