Another Barn Square - number 15
Off the needles and blocked up.  Tail end of some mustard wool, but not quite enough, so I added some stripes.  I liked the stripes although I am still to deal with the tails ends which need to be woven in.  This one I bound off twice - the first time I discovered the square was too big!  But with practice I am getting efficient at undoing and re-doing!

Here is a quote I found in my pile of craft papers.

'There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through action.  And because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.  And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it your clearly and directly, to keep the channel open . . .whether you choose to take ab art class, keep a journal, record your dreams, dance your story or live each day from your own creative source.
Above all else keep it open!'

by Martha Graham,  from 'A Creative companion by SPARK.
