I too need a jump start with a creative idea. Here are some tips I have been given:
1. What's on the sewing room floor? Make a collage and add to it as it speaks to you.
2. Can you doodle? Fold a piece of paper into eighths. Draw two lines across. Then open the paper and make a mirror image into a fourth then a half and then a whole. Hmm--maybe a little refinement here and there. What color would bring this part out? You get the idea.
3. Take a simple subject like a leaf. Make it into a color study. Do it in four colorways. Come on now--try those weird combinations.
4. Do a Ricky Tims convergence quilt.
5. Finally free yourself up and open up to universe. Don't be afraid to fail. There is no failure-- only learning experiences and opportunities to grow.
Try quilting flames or bubbles but use new and different threads that add to the design
