Not to worry.....I sometimes shut down all sewing and move on to another kind of craft project and eventually I tire of it and look for another kind of project. At some point, it's back to sewing or quilting. Can't force yourself to do your quilting, sewing or crafting if you're not in the mood; I think more mistakes are made. And when it comes to sewing or quilting that means I end up ripping out more stitches than I put in!!! LOL

The only advice I have is to just enjoy the board for awhile. Maybe something will inspire you.
Even if I'm not working on anything I think about quilting all day every day :)

there's your problem! absolutely without a Doubt! I've read about husbands on this board who catch their wives' quilting passion. And I think, "oh but wouldn't it be fun if my DH & I did this together..." then reality slaps me upside the head and I shake that little dream Out as quick as I can. lol... If he wanted to join me in this passion he would have to get his own apartment first. heh-heh
So you're saying I should think twice before saying "Hey Hon, I really think you could do this! :shock:

I once was told that when you have a heavy weight hanging over your head to decide what the WORST thing that could happen regarding this situation. Decide how you would resolve this worst scenario and then you will be able to move on. I find that heavy weights on my mind keep me from doing everything well including cooking, cleaning etc. This advice has helped me tremendously. Good luck and happy sewing!
