It happens but not to me--not that I can remember. I have the opposite problem--I get cranky because I can't seem to have the time to sew. Summer is bad for that. I get inspired being around other quilters--and that happens (inspiration) more than I can keep up with. Hope it all comes back soon for you. Congrats on the new sewing machine! Just jump in and sew on it! I doubt it will break before you have classes. Let us know what works for you.
