When I see all the fabrics and books in my sewing room I would like to get rid of everything and only buy when I am in the mood to do quilting. I have way too much now, too overwhelming.

I know many people who get into quilting, make the quilts they want to, mostly for themselves and family, and then stop.

I want to quit everytime I have to rip out a seam! Sometimes it takes me a while to get back to it! Does that count?

How old is your Mom, is she going through menopause, feelings and moods do strange things at this time! Ask me how I know!! :lol: Could she be depressed? One of the signs of depression is loss of interest in things. I have found that my interests wax and wane....maybe she should just hang in there for awhile.

Quilting comes and goes with me. I get burned out from designing and get busy with other things that keep me from quilting. Like "Do I search through fabrics online or do I spend my night with a video game?" I pick projects beyond what I think is my general skill level because I don't like the simple designs within my general skill level and then get frustrated with it.

But truly give up on it? Thought about it once. At the time I had only made three quilts and later had a huge falling out with each quilt recipiant (not all three at the same time). Honestly thought my quilting was cursed. But I talked about it on the board and people told me not to give up.

Sorry double post! I do want to add "everytime I try to do FMQ!"

I don't think I'll ever give up quilting entirely. My MIL is 85 years old and I try to get her back interested in it. Her heart just isn't in sewing any more which is sad because she makes beautiful items. I hope I don't stop quilting and sewing....
