She provided all the different college themed fabrics but I am just now getting into the cutting and sewing. I feel the pressure as December will be here soon and I really want to do Christmas stuff!!!!!
I also find that if I am not really into making and/or liking the project I am working on, it will take me forever to finish. I drag my feet and finishing it feels more like a chore than fun project. Finally, I will get to the point that I have to finish it and then work non-stop to get it done. When I finally finish it, I feel exhausted and then need time to get over the exhaustion (more mental than physical). When I finally get into 'wanting' to quilt again, I find the most fun, quick project to do so that I can get my interest back into quilting again.
