Inspiration comes in strange places.

Recently I attended a conference were we were given two hours to plan, then present a fifteen minute interactive demonstration on something related to the quilting machine that I own.

The thirty people I was with had so much more experience teaching stuff about the machine and the software so I reached into the recesses of my artistic mind.  What can I do that is different, yet comfortable?  So...I taught on one part of the process of making an art quilt.

I can talk to a fence post and expect a conversation but to limit talking about something I love doing to fifteen minutes was an interesting task, and I had fun doing it.  Several of the participants indicated that they enjoyed the presentation and wanted to try it.

It'll be weeks before I get the feedback from the presentation and by then my mind will be a million miles away.  Yet I realize that what's most important is that when I got home yesterday I realized I hadn't done anything like this since Daddy got really sick in January, 2017.  It's past time because the only thing I love more than designing these is coloring them after it is stitched.  

The presentation inspired ME!

So.  Today.

Journal about a time when you were put in a situation that was uncomfortable at the time but ended up inspiring YOU.
