When I get in a slump I will sit and cut fabric for future quilts and after a couple of days I am ready to start sewing again.

I've "lost" three projects in my sewing room. Today my niece and I are going to clean it up. Hard to sew when you can't find your project. She is a little slave driver so I will have to stay on task. Am hoping that this will get me out of my slump.

Oh Please Cherylsea, send your neice here, i need a slave driver lol

I have been working on the dresden mug rug and loving it !!!..Tried to take a picture of what I have done so far, but for some reason my camera is not working :thumbdown: ..Going to try and see if I can fix that...

I look forward to seeing your mug rug. I was in a slump as well. Before this month the last thing that I worked on was over a year and a half ago! Then I made a quilt for a cousin's new baby and 4 mug rugs all in about a month and a half. The mug rugs are end of school gifts for my son's teachers. I'm just finishing up with the bindings. They are so fun to make. I never did a mug rug before now I'm hooked!

Glad you're making something. Please show us when you're done.
