My Stars Got Rhythm, 38 x 38 inches, by O.V. Brantley, 2008.

When it’s cold outside, I like to hibernate with my hand quilting. There is nothing as wonderful as a fire in the fireplace, a cup of good coffee and a hand quilting project.

Hand quilting allows my mind to roam free. Like an athlete, I think of it as warming up for the next big creative project.  

My Stars Got Rhythm is  a quilt that I quilted by hand. What do you do to nurture your creativity?
