I have such a long list of projects in waiting I will never get there!

Look through magazines. Go to the quilt shops and talk to other quilters. The big thing is to get out of the house.
Think about making a charity project that always perks me up.

I've had a quilt on the table all day that needs to be square up and I have been on the board all day posting pictures, and chating. lol

For me, I have to clean my sewing room. Clear out all clutter, vacuum, wipe down computer monitor, tv, printer, sewing machine, then sit down in my nice clean room and look at patterns. That'll get me started every time. (If it's a bad block or case of the blahs) If it's not too bad, I'll make a doll quilt for a swap - that can get my mojo going too.

sometimes i just take a break and read a book or something else......or: looking at quilt books, or just getting out my fabrics and looking at them and feeling them inspire some kind of idea. or... suddenly there is a potential need or an acutal need....then i think of 2 or 3 other ones i could make a quilt for and suddenly there is not enuf time for all i want to do!

A mug rug is what you get when a coaster and a placemat have a baby! lol. It is a coaster with room for a snack, usually around 6x9 inches.

When I am stumped, I go online and google quilting blogs. There are so many creative people out there and something always peeks my interest.

Soooo sit for a bit and enjoy the `granny gear` Lifes to short to be busy chasing your tail all the while .Then when you start once again you will be refeshed and rareing to go and enjoy quilting all the more .

I am a retired Granny and have never been busier lol. If I am stuck for what to do,I come here go through the picture gallery and get inspired. I end up with so many thing's I want to try that I'm flat out working out how I am to do it all lol

I talk to a friend who quilts and when I hear what she is making ,it makes me want to get started on something. It gets me in the mood.

I love the way you think!
