A Maker's Thought

Recently I had the opportunity to give a trunk show of my quilts – from the very traditional first to the most recent improvisation, and many in between. Right off, it was a pleasure, as I could tell that my audience was thoroughly enjoying the show, so to speak, and engaging in a way that encouraged me on. And I walked away with a full heart, thankful for our time together.

Once home, I received an email from one of the attendees… And she said what I thought in the moment to be the best thing ever. “You gave a fascinating talk (which was nice enough to say.…) and have driven me straight to my machine.” I think my heart stopped for just a second while I took that in. Something in what I had shared had sparked in her the NEED to create. I could not have asked for more.

All that to encourage you to be intentional about sharing your creativity. Who knows, you might just kindle a spark for someone else.
