I, too, have gone long stretches without sewing. Just can't get "in the mood". I would go into my quilting room and get out my quilt kits, fabric, magazines, books, etc. and check them all out. I'd read patterns from beginning to end and pet my fabric and then I'd put everything away and turn off the light and shut the door. I did that for months. Then one day when I was on the floor looking through my quilt kits, I actually had the desire to quilt one. Magic! My mood changed and I've been quilting ever since. I went about 6 months without quilting then and it's been about 4 months now that I've been quilting. I don't know what happened to me, but thankfully, I'm back on the saddle again!
