Don't push to hard, it is not worth it. I don't know why we have to push ourselfs like this either. Take a break. Go to some shops and look around. Suzanne

After all those projects it is fine to take a break during the holidays. Sometimes it is fun to just be looking through books and at the stash to get your heart excited again..

All the time.

Its the holidays and you have been working your butt off getting the other quilts done and delivered. Give yourself a break, and wait till after the first of the year. In the mean time start looking at magazines and books you have or borrow some from a friend, and see if something jumps out at you. :idea: You will get going again.

I am going thru that right now, and I believe "there is a time for every season under the heavens" and this is my "season" now to take a break and do something else. I will go back to quilting but for now, I am finishing up stuff and will take a vacation. When I come back to my sewing room, I will be better and more inspired.

Just make 1 small project. A coaster, trivet, or even a round tuit. That will help re-ignite the fire. Satisfaction is a great motivator.

Yes. but, I find that if I go in with the attitude that I only have to work on it for, say, 15 minutes, I do fine, and that usually kick starts me and then I keep going.

What's the rush? Take some time off. When quilting feels like work, like something you "have" to do, it's not fun. One day a project will call to you and you'll want to answer...,

:lol: I agree with you, Gaigai! When I relax & start perusing through my books, patterns, magazines,etc, it acts as a catalyst to get my creative juices going again,haha. (not always in the same day). Also, just sorting through my large stash of fabrics has a calming effect, allowing my creativity to kick into gear. It's okay to allow yourself downtime before launching a new project; cut yourself some slack & enjoy the holidays! :thumbup: ;-)

I agree with Gina D
