Perhaps the projects you have not finished have gotten you down, start something new, and then perhaps you can get back at those haunting projects, that are waiting for you, they will be there when you are ready again.

Or could it be the weather, need to change your environment for a day - spend time with some other quilters - check out some quilt shops close to you.

I think you need to go shopping for some material and find something that really inspires you and will get you motivated again, or take a small class like I did with the ruching class, and it was only for a few hours, came home and made three to give away. Perhaps making something for someone else, the gift of giving always inspires me. I tend to do that a lot, my husband says I don't have any of my own projects in our home, as I give them all away.

I hope you can get past this!! Make something and share with us, the messages you receive may get you going again - I will be waiting...cheers, Donna
