It has taken me two years from the death of my husband to really get into the swing of things again. With lots of help from my quilting friends, I started with little projects like zipper bags, purses and table toppers. I think stress can sometimes block our creative sides. Be patient and start with something simple for instant gratification. Maybe make just one block for a scrappy kind of a quilt. Just handling your scraps to find the right combination of fabrics might get you going again.
