Yes Suzi sometimes you need to get away from the project and clear your mind..I don't think cleaning dog kennels would be my 1st choice tho *LOL* I started a Not your Grandmother's Tumbling Block quilt for my son & Dil as a wedding gift..well here it is 6 1/2 years later and I am still stumped on it!! I started it in a class which the teacher didn't show up for? The shop refunded our money but didn't bother to reschedule the class...A young gal happened to come in the shop and she had taken the class before so she showed us all how to cut the fabric and got us started...but said she had 3 kids at home with her DH so couldn't stay any longer. That is all I got done...
Hope you figure it out..I am a visual learner too..I really need to get this project out and complete it.. every time my DS comes over and I am sewing he says "Oh geez that doesn't look like our wedding quilt Mom"
