I went through about a two month period where I had no desire to look at my machine, much less sew, or do anything creative....I was stuck in a rut...So I started looking a new techniques that were interesting and I haven't looked back....One was hot ribbon art applique (which I LOVE) and that spurred an interest in card making.....and the rest is history.....the creative juices are back flowing..... I've got three quilts going and I just went to work one day a week for our local quilt shop as well...I'm a happy camper...:)
