Initiative

I am really excited about getting started on this project and announcing the first theme. I though about this a long time and decided that the theme 'INITIATIVE' would be a great way to start. Here is the definition:

Initiative:

noun

1. the action of taking the first step or move; responsibility for beginning or originating
2. the characteristic of originating new ideas or methods; ability to think and act without being urged; enterprise

3.
  1. the right of a legislature to introduce new legislation on some specified matter
  2. the right of a group of citizens to introduce a matter for legislation either to the legislature or directly to the voters
  3. the procedure by which such matters are introduced, usually by a petition signed by a specified percentage of the voters

I have no idea how I will portray this yet but I can't wait to see the results. Let me know what you think and be sure to stop back on 1/15 to see everyone's interpretation of the theme.

  5. At first I was stopped by the word, then thought that it is the initial project and appropriate. More thought-perfect. It will also be the first/initial art quilt I've designed, since my surgery 6 months ago. It's a good new beginning and the push I needed. Already have an idea to try. The hard part will be waiting to see everyone's pieces.
