I ocassionaly have the same thing happen. I will read, embroider, knit or crochet when I'm in a slump about quilting. Sometimes you just need to "get away" from it for a while. Another thing I do is thumb through by quilting books or magazines. Sometimes I just need to striaghten out the sewing room or "clear the clutter" in the rest of the house to be in the mood again. I have found if the house is starting to get to disorganized I feel claustrophobic and cleaning gets me back in the mood to quilt. Right now our son and his girl friend are living with us and I don't have as much "space". I retreat to the sewing room. I also find that during basketball/baseball season I avoid the living room because I find watching sports very boring. Sports are on almost every day. At least football season is only Sunday/Monday. Hubby is retired now.
