I lost my mojo for about a decade then found it again about 8 years ago while recovering from an ailment. I'd come from a garment construction/quilting background and finally acknowledged to myself that I didn't like sewing clothes but that I loved the rotary cutting and sewing processes themselves. To aid in my recovery, I purchased a used HV Rose (my first 'exotic' machine) and sat at my dr table sewing fabric pieces together... No project in mind... simply enjoying the hum of the machine, its gorgeous stitches, and the nourishment it fed my soul.
This is what it's been for me since this time and I love it. I piece and make quilts - sometimes... I piece to learn, I piece to experiment... I don't pressure myself w the end result nor deadlines, anymore; it is the process that I find inspiring. And this process has taken me to exciting places I never would've considered....it is an ongoing journey; I don't think ahead...I enjoy the 'now'.
This is my reason for sewing.
