Pet, your Post # 471 is encouraging. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. You laid out your rationale for "why" you quilt with the fabric you have at your fingertips at this moment in time beautifully. We should all be so thoughtful. From time to time.it is good to reassess why we are knee deep in fabric, attending multiple group meetings a week and spending hours in front of our machines. I also am a singleton, have been for years, but it has only been in the past few years, since COVID, that I have acknowledged to myself that it is the fellowship that I crave and not necessarily the items that I create.or that we in the group create. Mental healthiness is important. It is as vital as a small stash or a large stash or no stash at all. (Can't imagine the latter.)
I have shifted my attitude about "making" too. I am now in a different place of life and just want to leave a legacy of finished work and minimal stash. The Moratorium and UFO groups have provided me with the motivation to meet my current focus of finishing what I have started and using both the fabric and creativity I have been blessed with
