Making the little 4" blocks yesterday had me thinking about something that Karen Stiehl Osborn posted recently on the Quilt Art list. Someone had asked for suggestions to overcome a block in creativity. One method that Karen uses seems to me like using kindling to start a fire. The first thing she does in her studio each day is make a small collage in a notebook - no planning, no preset design, no agonizing. Just DO IT. This starts her 'fire' and pushes her into getting creative for the day. It can also be a reference when future 'cold starts' are needed. I like this idea a lot. Look at February 23 - 27 on Karen's blog.
Thanks to Karen who sent me this picture of her little notebook.
