I am retired. I have no children or other problems that would prevent me from sewing but I still went through a period when I couldn't even start a project - much less finish one. I joined a Thursday night "Sew Late" group at a local quilt shop. For three+ hours every Thursday I sew with a group that has become very dear to me. Two of the women come directly from work. They give encouragement and ideas. They introduced me to other quilters. I have finished 5 quilts since January - an all-time record. I highly recommend time spent sewing with others as a way to get motivated and inspired.
