Maybe your are not ready to retire? Quilting is not your problem. The month before I retired, I really was down. I wanted to retire, I had sooooo much quilting, cooking and just enjoying my self planned and did not know why I was so down. A month after I retired, I figured it out. I would miss the people I worked with and also did work for. I decided to meet them for lunch once a month and it really helped. They wanted to know what I was working on and I brought things to share with them. Maybe you should try planning little get togethers and that will help you too.
