I was in a slump for about 10 years. I've moved in the meantime, divorced, lost a leg, and only have one sister-in-law in the city I live in. No real friend here. I was DEPRESSED! But my sister who lives in NY, (I live in NM) convinced me to start again because she was worried about me not doing anything. So I did one just to get her off my back. That was a year ago.... since then I've finished at least 9, and working on many more. I've found that it keeps me sane, and relaxed. I don't think about my troubles. I just keep on keeping on......quilting has probably saved my life.....so get up girl and get back in there. Start small and you'll find you can do it........then send pictures.....k
