I think it would cheer me up and get me kick started, if i just came and gathered up ur stamps/ squishies, fabric, macines and just cleaned up all that for u.....yep that would cheer me up!!!! *hmmm need to think on this plan ome more..... cleaning my sewing room is how i broke my left arm ( sewing arm)* .......thinking....... thinking.......yea, getting all that cool new stuff and fabric to my hearts content would be worth a body cast!!!!! |
Go to a bookstore and pull up a chair to the quilt book section.

When this happens I just pick up a good book or spend the time on something else. Inspiration will come back and you will be quilting again. Enjoy the respite.

When this happens to me........I go do something nice for someone else. Usually puts me back where I need to be :-D

Since your having a party. (@&& kicking ) Sit down with the popcorn and watch a good movie. Read a good book.
Have a good day doing something fun!!! It will still be there when you are ready. Hugs. Don't be hard on your self. |
I also think a little bit of sunshine might help and maybe a break. It will come back to you before you know it. :)

When I get in a slump - I make soup. That gets my creative juices going again. I just throw everything and anything in the pot and wait to see how delightful it turns out. Same as quilting. Call it Scrappy Quilt Soup!

I thought getting my FQ and stamp squishy would fire me up, but it did for just a short time. I don't know what is wrong with me :( Does anyone have any suggestions? |
I am in a slump now caused by a baby quilt for my unborn grand daughter. I did a lot of machine embroidery on it and used a quilt as you go method so it is stiff and heavy. I put many many hours on it and I feel like I can't send it as it is so bad. Maybe I will just go buy one!!!
