Inspiration from Quilter Nancy Kirk
We all need something or someone to uplift us when we’re discouraged in life and quilting...and even when we’re not. One of the places I’ve found for “feel good” or thought provoking moments is Nancy Kirk’s The Monday Minute. You have the choice of listening to it or reading it.
Nancy is a quilter who specializes in quilt and fabric dating, as well as quilt restoration. She’s noted for her quilt restoration workshops. You’ll often find replays of free webcasts on quilt restoration.
I subscribe to her e-mail newsletter, so each Monday receive her tidbit of inspiration… often when I’m struggling to keep inspired. This week she mentions Pretty Good Observations and the idea of jotting them down in a notebook.
This is something I’d been doing, along with jotting down fun and inspirational quotes, then I slacked off. Nancy has me thinking about it again. Even just rereading favorite quotes and observations uplifts one’s thoughts and mood. I must find my notebook!
What do you do to sustain you during “down times” in life and quiltmaking?
