I have been doing alot of small projects lately with dry spells in between. I really feel I would like to get to work and make a quilt!!!!

I have two tops that need to be sandwiched. I have two sets of embroidered squares that need to be pieced into wallhangings. I have an I-spy baby blanket that had the blocks all laid out to piece, and then the cat messed them up and I haven't had the enthusiasm to figure it all out again. I'd love to get any or all of them done!

I haven't 'been in the mood' for a long time now. Yesterday I made myself sew some 3" blocks together for some sashing for a bed runner. I ended up doing more ripping than sewing. I guess I will just 'wait'.

At least, by the sound of it, I am in good company!

I'm thinking of joining a group on a blog that I follow. They number all their UFO's and monthly draw a number and have to complete the project that they have with that number. Maybe that will get me going and finish some of these UFO'S. I have my doubts, but it's worth a try.

Haven't had a chance to do much quilting sense the end of October. We did some traveling the end of October came home for a couple weeks traveled some more in November came home for Thanksgiving and then Christmas was here and all of the things that goes with it. Just hasn't been time for sewing. Hopefully when our 9 year old grandson goes home on the 1st will be able to do some sewing. Have to finish a queen size "Trip Around the World" before mid January so we can take it to our son in Miami, FL for his birthday February 4th.

I like to lay our an especially pretty piece of fabric and just pet it and go through my stash and find pieces to coordinate and press them and pretty soon I just have to see how it looks in a block or drawing and I'm off to the races!

Nice to see I'm not alone in my lull. Is anyone here doing the Downton Abbey quilt? I'm going to Florida for 3 months and plan on taking the stuff I need to work on this quilt, hopefully. I'm doing Sybil's colors.

I spent most of last year in a "hiatus". Nothing worked and the sight of my sewing things didn't energize me. No amount of rearranging, playing in fabric, etc. inspired me, just made me anxious. Some of it came back slowly and now I can at least look at things and maybe sew something. I just waited it out.

There is a "finishers group" on Facebook, it is from a fabric store in the southwest. I joined it some time ago but haven't got round to looking at it let alone finishing anything.
