Letting go gives you the opportunity to have something new come into your life.  New ideas, new friends and a whole new story can make a beautiful world for you.  Or it could mean rearranging the old into a fresh pattern, a way of seeing what you already have in a different way. To let go and allow yourself to grow opens you to infinite possibilities.

Intention
                                                                                             
INTENTION
 
I love having lots of fun ideas; it's one of the most enjoyable parts of being a creative being.  I like to brainstorm and get inspired to do new projects.  Then comes the hard part--or at least a little bit more difficult than the idea stage.  This is the time when you create the intention to make something happen.  For instance, I have a great many drawings that are ideas for  quilts, but to actually have an intention to make one of the designs into a quilt, I need to get the image enlarged onto a bigger piece of paper, choose fabric colors, thread colors, clear my design wall; schedule time, and then focus and produce the final textile.  Since I make my living by selling art, I follow a procedure to market each new quilt.  When I'm intentional I am powerful!

Therese May

by Rachel Cochran

Therese May's mission is to "create art with a healing message and inspire the flow of creative juices in the viewer." She is recognized worldwide as a leader in the creation and development of the "art" quilt, particularly in her use of embellishment and the spontaneous folk art style of her work. Her interests, her curiosity and the wanderings of her own heart stoke her inspiration.
"I love the idea that 'Home is where the Heart is' and I also feel that 'Home is where the Art is," she observes.

"My work comes from an inner force that guides me to create. I find inspiration in everything including the materials I use - and I get ideas in my head and have to do something with it."
