My inspiration comes from many sources. I look to painters old and new, the lyrics of favourite songs and sometimes involve ideas taken from traditional quilts. Words are extremely important to my design process. Most projects begin with a brainstorming session of what the approach to a subject or challenge could be. Making lists of descriptive words is a fantastic way of focussing the mind. Perhaps strangely, I find that I need a working title for a piece to be successful and so the name often arrives before the design is fully conceived. Making the quilt is the least time consuming part!
