I agree-take a break -check health but mostly don't feel guilty.
Thank you anyone willing to read this paragraph as writing this has helped me as I realize many are worse off than me.
I have been reading all the replies and it has helped me in many ways. First of all, I realize I am not alone and even though I am
sorry that so many others are struggling, I can see that others
go through this also, for various reasons.
There have been many wonderful suggestions, and I will see if
one or more of those will work for me.
I chose to quote the above paragraphs from Morningstar because she hit the nail on the head for me. I need to regain some quilting friends. Like you said, too bad you are so far away, or we might could visit. I have tried and tried to get a new group of quilting friends - or even one, but haven't been successful yet. Most of my good friends don't make quilts and have no desire to - they are not crafty types at all.
I know that at some point I will come out of this, and I am trying.
My problem does not stem from a lack of projects, fabric, ideas, or a place to work, and I know I could probably find someone to teach if I wanted too. There is just something inside me that just doesn't get joy from this right now and I just don't want to work on anything. I know that solutions to this have already been discussed, and I will consider them all and maybe try some.
Thank you all for your input. I feel like I know you on some level,
just because you were willing to share. Perhaps I will soon find a new quilting buddy, because I think that would get me going more than anything. For now, I feel encouraged and satisfied that many have reached out and shared their journey with me.
Have a GREAT DAY!
