I have taken many "Vacations" over the years , some have been for months others just for a few days.
I find after a particularly long quilt top , I need to "cleanse the palet" by doing something simple fast and in the opposite colors and methods. Doing this helps me from having to take "vacations" longer than a day or two.

No - I never did. Of course there days when life got in the way and I didn't find only a minute for quilting - but theses days were not the best in my life. Quilting means too much to me... I hope I will never be forced because of illness etc. to stop it or even make a break.

Well I had to stop! taking a mini vacation, just this weekend,
I got frustrated with some binding, and even asked this a question but a bit differently, So I plan to be up and going by Monday, and finish my doll quilt for someone . So silly to get frustrated over what I did.so the refreshing will be good for me.

Let's see I vacationed from quilting for about nine or ten years. I was an avid quilter 1991 until about 1999. Hit a wall one day and walked away from it. Left the stash in the drawers and the machine was still setup and threaded, I just closed the sewing room door and literally did not go in that room.
Then January 09 I was flipping through the TV channels and caught a sewing show and maybe I was just in a place in my life to get back into it.
