LOL The urge to sew can be really strong at times and not so much at other times. When it's strong, I can really accomplish a lot. But then it seems I get burned out and am just not in the mood to sew. I've had a quilt top finished for weeks now that I need to get pinned so I can start quilting it, but I just haven't had the gumption to find a back and get it done! Does this happen to anyone else???
I have it sometimes but ........
It's not "burn out", that's what regular people have. We Quiltologists have "Creativity Exhaustion." That's when our bodies and minds have gone at full speed for so long that we've depleted our creative energy and have to step back for awhile to regenerate.
