“…just find a little quiet time each day to withdraw into yourself…none of us can maintain the fertility of our beings without renewal.”
I recently started a course of career counseling, not so much to find a career, but to find my place within my skills and career. One discussion we had was about how I get energy. I think this is about renewal. How do you renew yourself in order to infuse energy into your quiltmaking. I think that this is an important question and is what helps us move on or ahead in our quiltmaking.
“How do you renew yourself in order to infuse energy into your quiltmaking” what an interesting question… not something I’ve thought much about as I use piecing a quilt as renewal of my creative energy for life in general… guess its sort of cyclical though, ’cause once I have energy for life in general then my quiltsmaking generally benefits too.
I think it is a give and take. When I started the blog I was in a creative rut. I started the blog to jumpstart my creativity and force some accountability on myself. Now I get energy from quiltmaking, but I give energy to it as well. Catch 22??
