I LIke Thursday # 12 ~ The Creative Process

I like finishing a project.

Hanging my first quilted project from my new long arm
on my dining room "studio" wall fills my heart with joy.
This started as a panel purchased when I needed a little spring in the dark of winter.
I picked this one because I liked the soft colors and the light in the center
of this digitally printed flower design.
It was a seed in my stash, waiting to be nourished.

I like starting a new project. 

This one is a second version of the Block of the Week
sew-along happening at the
Canadian Quilters' Association 

I saw this new

Kindred Spirits @ Riley Blake Designs

and I knew I had to make a "Canadian" quilt with this.
Anne of Green Gables  is one of my favorite books.
Green gables was a place my imagination visited many times as a child.
I stared this quilt Here

Very often my creative ideas are inspired by places in my mind.



I like the middle of the project ...

even when I have my seam ripper in my hand I am creating.

"Un-Quilting" this quilting started here.
This quilt was started last summer but I got caught in the weeds
while I was trying to quilt it on my regular sewing machine
and it spent the winter half quilted and hidden in my quilt closet.
It was time to take out the seam ripper and continue the process
by taking out the failed quilting so this may be finished on my long arm.

The kitties are trying to help me along and keep me on track with this one ...

Maestro helps while Katniss supervises from the basket on the archway.

Nutmeg looks a bit concerned here and is questioning me about my slow stitch removal.
Katniss has moved closer to better supervise from the back of the chair.

Katniss decides it is time for a closer look.

Katniss has clearly decided that close supervision has become
necessary to this part of the de-stitching process.

I am working on it, kitties!

While I am working on it I am thinking about what to create next.

Thinking and visualizing is an important part of this process.

I like thinking about and studying the creative process.

So when I saw a "test" for
"my creative type"
I had to check it out.

It told me ... 

"Your are the Artist

Seeing beauty, creating beauty

Ability to bring ideas and concepts to life"

I like everything about the creative process.
Creating is a journey.

Sharing is another important part of the creative process.

I like sharing so I will be posting a tutorial on how I faced the binding
on my Dream Big Quilt soon.

Since it is Thursday I am going to journey over to visit the creative

I Like Thursday Bloggers @ Not Afraid of Color

and see what inspiring posts they have to share today.

Inspiration is an important part of the creative process.

I like to be inspired.

Happy Thursday!  :-)
