No, you are definitely not alone! I just posted not to long ago about this same thing. It was titled "How do you stay motivated" or something similar. I think it's just like any other "hobby", we don't feel like doing it ALL the time.
My solution: quilt when you feel like it, when you will enjoy it, that is the point of a hobby! If I force myself to do something, it usually doesn't turn out very nice, because I'm in a hurry. On the other hand, sometimes it just takes me sewing a seam, and the next thing I know, hours have passed! Do what feels right.... |
i go in spurts..will sew for a week,everyday, then nothing for a week or two..it happens to all of us..
|
Yep I flip between scrapbooking and quilting all of the time.

Hi Bev,
Welcome back!! :D I have been thinking of you, for the last few days, wondering what you were up to. I too am one of those that get into these funks every now & then. It's normal but the most important thing is your BACK!! :thumbup: Love your avatar too!! :D :D :D :D |

Sure! That is when I do my other crafts for a while until I get motivated to sew again. ps) Welcome back, I wondered where you were.
|
Oh yeah, I didn't go into my sewing room for most of 2 years; then one day I looked around and everything else seemed to be in the way of me getting in there and doing something.

welcome back!!! I've missed you. do what feels right. if the funk continues too long, see a doctor, OK? we care!!
please join us, even if you aren't sewing. Rose |
It happens to me when I am supposed to be working on something I NEED to get done, not what I want to get done.
Welcome back, we missed you. And sewing or not, you belong here. Your friends are here! |
