I was told in a professional organizing class to set a timer for a short time (15 minutes to half hour) and make yourself do something in whatever area you are having trouble or are unmotivated (cleaning, ironing,- - - - - quilting). As soon as the timer goes off, you need to stop. Good luck and enjoy.

It's easy to get me motivated to quilt. All I have to do is look at the pile of money I have invested in my stash, sewing machine, tools, books, pattern, kits, and thread and that adds shame on top of being out of sorts. I think of the quilters past who would cry seeing the goodies we have now and to think of not using them? I start with a potholder using a block pattern I want to try.

Hi Jerrie!
It is very good to see you on the board posting again. I am so glad that you are feeling well enough to quilt or sew again.
I try and look though the things I have started and think I could get this finished if I had just a day. Or how about remembering a gift I had started and that I need to get moving on.
Try something christmas, I love christmas projects. IF all this fails, go through your patterns. I bet there is one you have forgotten about just waiting for you to play with.

I'm just glad you're feeling better, Jerrie!
My idea: think about the upcoming holidays, look at that stash and make a small gift for a friend or relative or make a comfort quilt for charity (something easy that just gets you sewing)-----

Go to the Pictures section of this board. Or go to an art museum. I recently saw a visiting exhibit of Georgia OKeefe in my town. Now I want to play with any wild colors of fabric! Maybe check out a coffee-table book of quilts from your library.
