My DH and I planned a trip to CA to see our kids. We started making plans in June for our trip in Nov. I knew I wanted to make some quilts and wall hangings for our kids' homes so I got started in August and by the middle of Oct. I had 7 projects done and ready to send so they would be there when we arrived on Nov. 3.
We were gone a little over 2 weeks (and had a wonderful time, BTW) and I keep thinking about some quilting projects I wanted to get started on when we got back. Well, we've been back since Nov. 18th and I've yet to cut a single piece of fabric :(
I can't seen to get my thoughts together as to what project I want to get started on. I've looked at patterns that I have, online, and on here and I was hoping something would ignite the spark I need to get me going again. So far, I've seen some great projects, but I just can't seem to get started :(
Has this ever happened to you??? What did you do (if anything) to get yourself out of it?
Glad you had a good time with the kids. Maybe you're a little depressed after so much fun....a little let down? I've had times when weeks go by and I don't touch the machine. It's alittle scary but you have to admit we go at this a little hard. My husband said if he played golf like I quilt, he'd be dead!! So, just relax and pick a small little 12 x 12 something and start. It'll come back.
