I, too, am sorry for your loss, Stichnripper. I hope quilting can be your solace.
I haven't had a slump, but I have been sort of up and down in the energy I've applied. Staying home more gave me time to experiment a bit. I also tried to use my scraps more although I seem to have generated more scraps due to shopping. The local quilt shop was one of the only places I went except for the grocery store for a long time, and I did a little more shopping oniine.
I want to share pictures of my Corona Cabin and Omicron Cabin quilts, made of "strings" and other scraps.
