The joy of quilting taking me to always challange my self, to do more project... to try a new color combination.. and dare to try an advance design....
The way I see my surrounding is changed forever. I'm now more aware to colors... and always dire to look for inspirations... My mind started to asked for stimulations... so I often sit in the magazine corner at book store.. and satisfy my eyes and my brain just by looking at other artist's work. I thank God that He leads me to the path where I can really be myself, where I can express myself without has to worry about others opinion.
As a quilter... I can say that Quilt exhibiton is the place where I felt so overwhelm. I spent hours just to browse from booth to booth.. taking picture.. admire them.. thinking how in the world they can make such thing like this.. oh how they put their heart to make quilts.
I never thought that when the first time I read a book about quilt can lead me to an exhibiton like this.
I bought and borrow quilts book and then just taught my self to make more quilts...
My mother and my sister are among the first to receive my quilts... They are happy and I am happy... See.. being a quilter can leads me to being happy too... LOL. Not to mention that making quilt can teach me to be patient. My character is shaped too....
And for me.. the satisfaction after one quilt is done can not be expressed with words...
Incorporated quilts with beads is a common thing.. especially for Art Quilts.. so there it is.. I was lead to the world of beads and buttons.... As you can imagine... I felt like a kid in a candy store when the first time I went to beads store.... Yummy!
No wonder after that, I took a class for beading.....and weeks after that... I was busy stringing beads....
Happy Quilting.. Happy creating.....
Luv,
Na
