Seeing show and tell at our guild meetings of all the quilts every one has made, inspires me again.

I think we all have times like that. I have lots of hobbies that I enjoy like quilting, cross stitch, crochet, reading, and playing golf. It helps me to alternate from one to another instead of doing the same thing all the time. I don't know, maybe I have ADHD. It is turning cold here in Kentucky, so we just finished our golfing season. I am excited to get back to quilting. Maybe you need to learn something new for a hobby so you can do that for a while. I have heard that it is good for the brain to learn new things. Good luck on getting your mojo back.

sometimes I just set a small goal for myself to get started. Then amazingly, I don't want to quit. I go in spurts. Right now my crocheting is taking over. Don't worry about it. It will come back.

How about planning a 2014 BOM from either your LQS or an Online shop? .. that gives you time to get in the groove?

It happens. For me, it's a time to reorganize my sewing room, ending with the fabric itself. Something will usually click in there somewhere and get me started again but I think most of us have had a similar experience. Relax. The urge will return.

I am in the same rutt, I have so many things I want to do but just can't seem to find the will to start them. Yesterday I went in my sewing room for a while and put some things away but that's as far as it got.

Thanks everyone for the support. I have cleaned, straightened fabric, looked through patterns, and gnerally forced myself to just start moving again. I started making some Christmas tissue box covers, and that really helped. By the time I knew it, I had 4 of them, then just filled them all with Christmas chocolates, and mailed them out. Don't know why really, but it got me moving again. Today am working on a new quilt for a niece with Cancer....thinking I forgot just how lucky I have been.

1) drive over to Sew Elegant. 2) pet the fabric & see if they have a small project on display to get you going again.
Seems to me a trip to my LQS always sparks my interest! |

Don't know what happened, but I don't have the urge to quilt right now...but I do love quilting. It is the holiday season, and I so want to get back into the groove. Any suggestions as to what can I do to get the spirit back?
