In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well-stocked fish pond… If we don’t give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked…As artists, we must learn to be self-nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them — to restock the trout pond, so to speak. —Julia Cameron

 

PADDED PATCHWORK

Instead of plain patchwork, I made this bedspread padded patchwork. I cut two squares, one slightly bigger than the other, the bottom  square being the smaller. I pinned the corners, pinned a pleat on the sides, sewed all three sides by machine, filled the square with poly fill, then sewed the open side with machine. I put the blocks together by pinning them together to a design then sewed with machine.
