Do you think you could get tired of quilting?

My love was gardening, didn't think anything could out do
my love of flowers, my name was olgaflowers,
but now I found a new LOVE ! so I change my name to
"olga,quilts" and that's all she wrote :)

I can sew for quite a while but do get tired of it, just as with anything I do for too long. Have different projects going, have already started to receive seed catalogues. Will be in the greenhouse getting ready by end of February.

I retired in 2003 and went back to work in 2007. Quilting is great but not as a full time hobby. I have quilted for over 30 years and couldn't wait to be able to quilt all the time, but it got pretty tiresome sewing everyday. So now I work 12 days a month and sew some of the remainder. Plus it gets me out with the public. I definitely don't like being home all the time. I always say be careful what you wish for. LOL!

I love quilting but like the free style of quilting what 'I' want to, when I want to. Every day is not a cutting day but might be a perfect stitching day.
I feel a little suffocated when someone else's goal or plans step in the path of my choosing when 'I' want to quilt 'what'. My plans have been interrupted often in 2011. I am using that as an opportunity to grow, venture out and work with others. (But mannnn,, I really do not like pulling my quilt off the machine to work on other things. I will get over it.) :)

I once thought I would never get tired of it and then all of a sudden one day I woke up and just didn't feel like quilting. I didn't quilt for a year. I just quit. Mid-project. I knitted, I crocheted, I painted, I played Farmville (LOL), and I didn't touch my sewing machines.
Then one day out of the blue I felt like quilting again and started up right where I left off. Still going, but who knows if or when it will hit me again that I don't feel like doing it.
