A big WELCOME for you!

good for you - spend some more me time sewing or doing something just for you and just because you can

Welcome and you can do it.
Stars are the limit.
But here any and all will inspire and encourage.

Inspiration is , as I understand it, is 9 paarts perspiration and 1 part inspiration. !Now you know what all that swesting was about this summer ...lol..global warming I think not, just flusterfrated quilteres trying to get back in the grove. I hope that you perk up soon ands reallyt "get back" into quilting. B est...Sara

When I get in a slump, I start looking at my material stash and think of differant things I always wanted to do but never got around to doing it!! You'll be suprised at what kind of ideas come into your head!!!

go for it girl you wont regret it. I only started about 2 months ago and i am addicted already. Everyone here is so great and encouraging.

Welcome to the board! You'll find lots of encouragement and inspiration here!

Welcome tonsau7....hope u enjoy your self here!

Hi!!! welcome from France too!!!You'll be happy to have joined us, I'm sure!! I'm pretty new here and I enjoy everything on the board!!

Welcome Tonsau7, here is a nudge and some gentle persuasion, You Can Do It!!

go to a fabric shop. There is nothing like the smell of fabric in the morning,,,,,, It will get your mind to churning.

Welcome!!! You'll be hooked in no time.

Just make yourself sew for a little while. When I am in a slump I set my timer and tell myself I only have to sew for X amount of time. When the timer goes off I want to keep sewing. I guess it is a mental thing I know I'm only going to have to sew for a short time. And sometime when the timer goes off I quit for this time.

Welcome to the group Tonsau7 --Good luck with new projects.

Welcome Tonsau7 You will be sewing in no time, there is so much going on here. Take each day and sew something check out some of the quilts the members have made that will push you a long.

Of course you can do it! And hello & welcome from Michigan!

you know you want to! you know it will make you happy to create again! come on..we all get into slumps..!

A BIG warm welcome to "quilterguy's sister" from Nova Scotia (that's in Canada, lol)

Just keep reading this board.If you read it fairly regulary you can't help but get inspired. It worked for me :thumbup: :thumbup:

Welcome from NC, yeah! you CAN do it! lets see a quilt or a small something!

Hello Tonsau7, welcome back to quilting, I know it hard to get started again, because I have just gotten back in myself, but I know how much I missed it so come on and lets make something together. I know that you can make something really pretty and thats easy to start back with. Hope you can get back in to quilt really soon. It helps if you have someone to quilt with. Take care and have a great day.

Welcome back to sewing. I know we all have to get motivated sometimes.

Taking a walk thru a fabric store will get you going...that's all it takes for me.

Welcome! I guess no one can motivate me if I don't really want to do something, but you'll find so much inspiration here! It's amazing how all the sharing here gets me going!

Welcome Tonsau7 you will enjoy this board. So many good ideas. I'm pretty new and I love it.

I've been in those slumps myself at times...I think we all get them....maybe find a cute pattern for a table runner or something small you want to make...it makes for a quick feel of satisfaction....also PM me, and I'll send you some 'scraps' or goodies to get you going again! Happy sewing!!!

That's a start, but be kind to yourself, do something more fun!
Welcome aboard, and your lucky to have a brother who cares!

welcome tonsau7....just keep reading and looking at all the beautiful pictures and you will find you don't have enough time in a day to do all the things you want to do....I find myself back and forth all day long between this board and actual sewing/quilting.

Welcome Tonsau7 - this board is great, as you can already tell. I find so many helpful hints and ideas for future quilts. I have to remind myself I am not that rich and CANNOT do everything I see :)

This is a nice place to be when you are struggling - absolutely the best people around!

You Go Girl! You will get in the groove as soon as you start sewing!

Hi and welcome!

Dear Tansau 7..............I have found that the sewing /quilting adventure requires me to concentrate in such a way that Stress, Anxiety, Worry and a bunch of other "no nos" goes away for a time. Just take one step at a time and the best of "time" will be yours...

Doug say's he is doing good. Unfortunately he is in Ohio and I am in Arkansas. I wish I could be there with him to help him through this. Thanks for asking.

Thanks....he is a great brother, he is my ROCK!!

Thank you! 8-)

Thanks again to all of you for your warm welcomes and encouragement.

Thank you, I will check it out. 8-)

Yeah, I know he has a lot...lol! 8-)

Your are the best brother ever! Way to go, and sis, if this mouse can drag her hiny to the machine, kicking and screaming, at first....
I know you can do it.
It's not that I don't want to sew. My head wants to.
It's that I let my thinker become a stinker.
I get to procrastinating and it becomes a circle, and I am stuck.
When I finally do one thing, anything, and bust out of it, a little each day...usually by the second day, I am off and quilting again.
I am probably one of the slowest on here, but I shall not give up!!!
Sometimes I'm just cheese deficient :mrgreen:

I have a super easy link for making chemo caps. They look like surgical caps, but are reversable and they also tie in back. Each one takes an hour or less, start to finish to make, and if you use material that is under $5 a yard, it ends up costing less then $2 a cap....if that. You can also (using a serger to avoide thick seams) sew scraps together to make a very pretty cap from the pattern. I posted a few, if you want to go to my link, where the pattern link can be found, and samples shown. I'll post below the link and you can decide. It is fun and easy and helpful to those wth cancer who otherwise have to pay to cover a bald/balding head. The link is for adults and childrens caps.
