Book to read : The Creative Act: A Way of Being
My heart for quilt making has been stitched into my life since I was about twelve years old. From sewing my own clothes through high school and college to sewing dresses for my daughters, my journey has always been with fabric. When I retired, it was a dream come true to be able to spend my days quilting. Once I had more time, I knew I wanted to bump up my game and make breathtaking quilts. Not only did I study quilt designers and how they designed quilts, but one of my rock star quilters suggested some books to help your creativity. The best book I have read is The Creative Act, A Way of Being by Rick Rubin. That first summer I retired, I read a chapter a day and reflected on how to apply his ideas to my quilting. You can find the book here. I think you will find it helpful to create beautiful art, no matter what you craft.
