Jerrie--Good to see you back!! Don't worry--something will motivate you and get you back in the quilting mood soon.

If you do nothing else, don't stress. I am in a bit of a funk myself, but I know I will find something to inspire me and I will be right back where I want to be. I just need to inhale pink and exhale blue and I will be alright again. Chin up girl, it will come back.

Just look at the pictures of this site! Its getting me out of the dulldrums. There is one beautiful quilt that has inspired me. I can't wait to get the book and get started!!! :D

Hi Jerrie,

I am having so much trouble getting motivated myself. I thought I was the only one. I read about everyone else, and how they are doing and always working on something, I am still stuck in mid-stream. If you find some ideas, I would love to hear about them too. I joined a quilt guild, read books, magazines, look online, look at my fabric stash. I love to quilt, sew, etc., I have so many ideas swimming in my head, but I can't seem to get going on anything.

Take care, Cyniree

I go in and look at my fabric collection ( I am a collector not a horder) and then go with whatever inspires me either thru a purchased pattern or one I might make up. Now If I can keep the Dog and hubby from wanting my attention then I might actually accomplish something. LOL, I love them both to death but sometimes I just need me time.

Fabric shopping is the best

welcome back jerrie :D

Jerrie, if UFOs were a source of inspiration/motivation, there wouldn't be any! Sounds to me like you're bored with same old same old. Why not try moving your sewing machine to a new (temporary) location, perhaps near a window. Also, ask yourself what has motivated you in the past? For me, it's usually someone mentioning that they would love a quilt or, I need a present for someone. It gives me a target to shoot for; i.e., I know the person's favorite colors or, it's going to be a Christmas present, etc. Good luck fighting the ho-hums!

I just have to watch a video to get inspired. Problem is I have to many that I want to make.

Ya know, getting involved in one of the swaps can be very motivating - we have the Fall Block Swap, the DJ Xmas Swap and there are a few others too...
