Default Go in streaks quilting

I find that I go in streaks Quilting. I was at a quilting retreat last weekend and haven't felt like sewing since. I have Quilting days with friends planned next Thursday and Saturday. That willl force me to quilt. What do you do to get started Quilting again?

That's ok, you should quilt when in the mood not force yourself! I have the problem of wanting to quilt all the time!!!

I do the same. I get busy with gardening or keeping grandkids and don't go near the machine for weeks. Then I can get busy and quilt or piece every day while the mood lasts.

Same here, I'm just coming off a long dry spell. I just waited till I wanted to quilt again. In the meantime, find something else fun to do... garden, read..

I get that feeling from about midnight to 5am! Really, I'll see a new pattern that just begs to be made. That usually does it!

I have to be in the mood to quilt. I'll go in my sewing room to quilt and start and then 5 minutes later, shut everything up and close the door and be done with it. Other days I'll spend the whole day quilting. It just depends on how I feel. I don't know if I have the drive from one day to the next. And I don't work outside the home, so maybe that makes it harder to choose to quilt. I think "I can do it tomorrow" every day. Other people have to work, so they only have so many hours to quilt and they use those hours to quilt. I kind of envy them.
