"After all, we cannot know what we are going to express. What is really creative is bound to be a surprise
because it is something we couldn't have thought of. This is the thing that we resist the most. We want to
know where we are going, why we are doing it, and what it is going to give to us. We want to know it all.
To be creative means becoming more familiar with being a little lost. If we are always full of what we
want to do, there is no room for the new."- Michell Cassou

Thursday, January 24
Yesterday I went into my studio and started yet another new piece. I was tired and not able to concentrate on any other works that I had started. But this one piece of fabric that I had cut away from another quilt had been calling to me, and continued to do so, so I started sewing it to other fabrics. This particular "siren" piece I see as a teaser, one that calls to be sewn together only then to be cut apart into smaller pieces. These tiny pieces could go in other quilts or become a quilt of its own. Not sure. This afternoon I become the slasher....Yee haw.
