i feel the same way alot of times but i learn alot of stuff off here and it helps me to learn something new and better way to do it.
|
it is just the weather! ya need some sunshine! :)
we all feel like that sometime or another..but quilting is a work in progress..learning all the time! i honestly don't know how anyone does it with work and or kids. i took up this hobby after i retired,and the kids were grown..i have alot of respect for those that work around thier lives, and still manage to get some sewing done! hang in there, and come here for motivation and friendship! |
I got a lot more done when I was working (for pay) and the kids were young and at home.
Don't know what happened - guess my get up and go just got up and left. |
I'm in a creative rut too. The only thing I've really worked on lately is Quilts for Kids and turning a shower curtain into a window curtain for my MIL. The weather is yucky here too, I'll blame it on that.

There will always be more to learn. Quilting is a learning process. Remember you have to crawl before you can walk? lol
I had those exact thoughts some years ago.... Just remember, the two most important things about quilting is, an exact 1/4 inch seam and cutting precisely...all the rest falls into place after that.....learn what the straight of grain and crossgrain are as these are important to your design and makes a huge difference between a nice square quilt and a wobbly one. |

Don't know what happened - guess my get up and go just got up and left. Probably only have 20 or so years left...so I'll take any extra hours you have....unless of course you want to start using them to pick out your next quilt project! :thumbup: |
