It’s not exactly the dreaded white page syndrome – it’s more the half written page, or the half blank – or is that black and white? Whatever, it is that well known point at which a creative person sometimes gets stuck, wondering which path to take now. I am facing this with the current quilt top, which I think is now ‘done’ in the applied leather department, in a style similar to earlier pics on this blog – now for the quilting. Deciding what type – the options are (1) fine free machine quilting in a subdued gold thread to tone with the subdued gold leather angular appliques (2) lots of hand quilting in both black and the perle thread which looks like gold matching the leather…. Instinct tells me to just start – but I am not sufficiently committed to going ahead with any one kind of approach so I am tempted to put it aside for a while and get on with the next design calling me – but the thing is I did this with the previous one….. and still haven’t picked it up again. I am so rarely in this position – normally I have either some piecing or some quilting going on at the same time as some finishing off – not this kind of clog up which might be construed as a heap of (2) UFO’s. So, some procrastination of some kind is looming today perhaps.

Oner thing I will do is spend some time with a new (to me) book on Tim Storrier a prominent Australian artist. I can do an on line search for stuff on another fav. I have always been meaning to look into more, about his life inspirations etc because I adore his work – Jules Sher. Yes, that should give me some thinking time. And if that fails, there is the Robert Drewe book I am well into, “Grace”.
