For last week's podcast I wanted to share how I used quilting to help me out of a negative place several years ago.
Have you ever been afraid of something – making a decision, taking action, having a hard conversation with someone you love? Have you
been so afraid you avoided that task for months or years?
This is what Torrent of Fear is all about. That stuck state of intense fear that locks you in place and prevents you from moving forward.
I designed this quilt in 2012 after spending the entire year of 2011 completely stuck and unable to make a decision about what to do with the
Free Motion Quilting Project once the original 365 designs were shared.
It’s funny now to think about worrying so much about something so simple, but at the time, this was a huge decision. I worried that changing the blog would ruin my business and that fear locked me in place for months.
As I shared in the podcast, this is a lot like treading water and refusing to make a
decision which direction to swim in. I felt like I was drowning by slow degrees.
