Default Diary of a ~Mad Quilter~

How to you tune up your quilting mojo? I'm a working 63 year-old that daydreams about quilting at work, then I go home exhausted and can't lift a finger. (Oh yes, I've ruled out medical issues.) On the weekends I catch up with the family or shop.

I have compulsively shopped for fabric, of every variety. Purchased tons of magazines, books and patterns, not to mention notions! It has been stacked in every available spot. I can't get to the sewing machines....I have 4. I don't make quilts, I buy stuff. I've slowed down yet I still have $300.00 on gift cards that I need to use because the quilt shops seem to be going out of business too frequently.

I belong to a guild and I get inspired but by the time I am back home (it's an hour away) the moment is gone.

What do you do to get you moving? I bet a neater quilt room will be a plus. Where to I start? I have tons of UFO's that all bore me now. What would you do? Is there a 12 step program for this?

All suggestions are welcome!!!
