Nine years ago I went through some major work and health issues that changed almost everything in my life. I went to one quilt show that year and realized that my own needlework was changing as well.
I don't know that I ever consciously chose to follow an artistic path with my quilting and embroidery. It simply evolved organically, perhaps from a desire to make something beautiful as well as practical. I was often inspired by the work of quilters and artists that I saw at these shows.
The energy is always so wonderful when quilters and textile artists gather in one spot to display their work.
I miss going to quilt shows, too, which I haven't been able to do for two years now. Maybe this year I'll feel safe enough to get out to one.
