Here is a quilt i started I kind of in away lost a little interest in quilting. I dont know if I burned my self up. Any how the pattern is called The land of nod book by Judy Martin Scraps Blocks & Quilts[ATTACH=CONFIG]611999[/ATTACH]

wondered where you & your beautiful quilts have been. but, that can happen ..get burned out. after 30+ yrs i've gone into significant slowdown last couple years, but getting back into looking at fabrics, patterns ..getting ideas for projects. but that block is fabulous ..i don t have that particular judy martin book, but i love love the block you're using! will be a fabulous quilt when you're done.

Don, it's so good to see you on here again! Been wondering about you. Glad you're still on planet earth and doing at least a little sewing. But hey, burnout happens. I've kind of hit a plateau right now in my own sewing, but that may return when my arm/shoulder has healed. \\ Your partial quilt looks like a beauty. Maybe make it just a little throw quilt--sandwich it now , bind and call it done. I would if I was burnt out.

We all sometime take a break from piecing quilts and it doesn't mean we never go back to quilting and piecing. When I want a change I do wool applique by hand or do hand embroidery or add to my box of english paper piecing. But, I always go back to piecing and quilting. You do such great work and I know I would miss seeing your work here. That piece you are now showing looks really difficult. Looking forward to seeing your quilts after you've taken a little break.

Well, Hello Mr. Don. Boy I have missed seeing your work. I don't quilt hardly at all, but I'm on here looking at other busy people's work.ha. it's about all I can do is get up and eat.ha,ha. But, just rest yourself and you will get into it again, maybe. My DH is a workaholic, but I'm not. Glad to see your work. And wow, it looks hard work to me.

That's beautiful, Don.

I've been missing you too. Been wondering how you were. Burnout explains it, tho. Just glad you haven't been sick. Good to see you post!

I've also wondered what happened to you. Burning yourself out is a possibility of every quilter. Hope you get back on the track again soon.

I went thru a year recently when I just couldn't get back to quilting but now I'm back. My issue now what do I do with all the pieces I make. I have been giving a few away so that helps some.

We've all missed you, Don, but we understand. That looks like a VERY complicated quilt, but will be beautiful when done. Take a break, do something else but you can always "check in" here and see what's going on.
