I have read books, have great stuff to quilt with, and read your helping topics but overcoming getting started is huge. HELP!
I have trouble going into my sewing studio when it is not organized and clean, I also have trouble making that first cut into the fabric to start a new project.
I try to keep from getting cluttered too bad, take a deep breath before cutting and just go for it. Once the first cut is done I'm o.k.
Good luck.
Coffee and chocolate also help!
