\n\"WatermelonKids1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today I had one of my intuitive moments. I got
the urge to go buy some summer fruit at Whole Foods, which usually means I am
going to bump into someone I know while shopping. I started out with watermelon
and plums, and finished with soy milk on the other end of the store. By the
time I got out to my car to load my groceries into the trunk, I had forgotten
about my intuitive nudge to go there.<\/p>\n

But then, I heard someone next to me calling my name. It was my friend who has
an older puppy the same breed as our new puppy Ruby. I was thinking about her
the last few days, and there she was, calling my name!<\/p>\n

I know, not everyone believes in intuition, but I feel like I've been a success
partially because I follow my intuition. All along the Path of Life, I've paid
attention to those subtle inner voices, and after choosing The Road Less
Traveled, I always seem to receive a confirmation that my intuition was right.
Who knows, maybe we could say that every choice is right, but I am going to
stick with my intuition.<\/p>\n

Creative people are often very intuitive. They follow their nose, their heart,
their intuition…and find themselves in serendipitous situations where
everything seems to drop into place. <\/p>\n

That's how I got into quilting.<\/p>\n

I had moved back to Colorado after leaving the garment industry in Manhattan. One
day I was in a big grocery store, when I came across several quilt magazines. I
had been wishing to find a way to return to the textile industry, but it seemed
very far away from Colorado. My eye was drawn to Quilters Newsletter, and I saw
that it was published in Colorado. <\/p>\n

As I flipped through the pages (this was in 1990!) and looked at the quilts,
the colors and the fabrics, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I got
this really buzzy feeling. "This is IT!" my inner voice said, and I
snapped up a few quilt magazines. With my design degree and background in
garment design, the quilt classes I took over the next few years were
easy-peasy. (except for the Hawaiian quilting class where the instructor said
she'd kick me out if I used batiks instead of solids – harrumph!) <\/p>\n

I began to pursue art quilting, after learning about patchwork, applique, etc.,
and every discovery I made gave me that same buzzy feeling. I knew I had found
where I belonged. <\/p>\n

Did Intuition play a part in your becoming a quilter?<\/p>\n

Does your intuition guide your creative choices these days?<\/p>\n
