Gather a few handsful of your favorite fabrics, and do something simple
like the Yellow Brick Road, Turning Twenty, a 9 Patch (alternating with a
solid white square), work up some miscellaneous blocks for future
projects, etc. In no time you will be back in the groove!

Come the dreary days of winter, I'll get back to sewing. It is a hobby, not something I feel I have to be doing all the time.

Quilting is supposed to be enjoyable, fulfilling and fun. If it isn't, something is wrong. I don't beat myself up for not finishing projects. I don't pressure myself to sew every single day. But if I'm missing it, then I need to find out why. I struggle with depression and sometimes that's what is going on. Depression will keep you from doing things that you like and that are good for you. So we need to kind of push ourselves to do what will make us feel better. But if you aren't longing for it, then just enjoy what is interesting you right now. Don't any of you be hard on yourselves. The world does enough of that.
