Although I have not experienced a dry spell, there have been times when I haven't had much time for quilting. I also didn't have a good place to quilt and had to get everything out and get it all put back up each time I wanted to quilt. First thing I did was join a quilt guild. That gave me lots of motivation and next I was able to find a place that I didn't have to put it all away each time I started on a project. Finally, I started using utube to look up ways to learn to machine quilt on my domestic machine. I have learned so much now that I enjoy free motion even more than piecing. And as they say, practice, practice, practice. Just make quilt sandwiches and go to it. No one has to see what you do so if you don't like it just keep trying. You will get better. And you don't have to be perfect or quilt like others. As long as you are pleased with your progress, then quilt your own projects and be proud that you did it yourself. I can't afford to have mine quilted by others so I guess it forced me to learn. I also like to be able to say that I did it all myself. That alone gives me satisfaction. Good luck and enjoy!
