So, do all of you have any tips or ideas on how you dig up those creative juices and keep those projects rolling off the machine?
Please share, I'm in a quilting rut!
all fabulous ideas. here are some more ways that work for me.
look at your list of upcoming birthdays and other gift-giving occassions (like graduation day, which is not far off). i'll bet doing that has scared more than one quilter into action. LOL
visit one of the many sites devoted to quilting for charity
walk through the mall looking for babies in strollers. (not for creepy reasons. LOL among other things, babies make me think "quilt".)
the point being to look for reasons to produce quilts, which will get you thinking of quilts to produce, which will lead you the a fabric shop or your stash, which will remind you how good it feels to quilt, and so on.
