I understand. When I went through the "d" I had to stop my sewing of all varieties and I sewed A LOT. I actually sewed for stores, craft shows and to dress my children. The machine never left the table. After the "d" I began to work outside of the home because I had to and between children, work and going to school I had no time for sewing at all. Time passed, life eased into a better place, school was completed, the children grew older and I began to use my sewing machine again. We all have times and seasons in our lives. What is our passion will return when the season is right.
Have you read the Cobblestone Court Quilt books? I think the author is Bostwick. They are about a woman who walks the treacherous path of divorce and who is a quilter. I know it is fiction but it is also a good escape that any quilter can relate to on many levels. If you can't quilt right now, read about quilting.
