Nope you aren't alone...I'm right there with orgnaments" for my daughter's tree; have been knittng preemie hats, chemo hats, and teaching myself to knit socks......
I go into my quilting area every single day and just stand there; just can't get motivated. In my tiny little mind I'm thinking I'll start quilting again once the weather gets warmer and I can spend more time in my un conditioned "sunroom" which is where my quilting stuff is.
I'm retired and thought I had a lot of free time; but I've gotten involved in a new church here in my area and between my Bible study, lunching out with new friends, Sunday School activities, etc., I have not been spending my time very well !
We both need to hang in there; inspiration will return I'm sure !

No you're not. I'm having a really difficult time making myself go into the sewingroom. I can be in the livingroom thinking I should be then just sit there watching tv or staying on the computer. I've been trying to peice the same quilt top for weeks. It is getting done a block or two at at time. I figure one of these days the urge will kick in and I will get to going again.

My slump remedy (otherwise called quilter's block):
Start small and do something different either in color or just the project.
Once I get on a roll, I seem to become eager to keep going on another project. Some small projects that I've used have included pincushions, bags, a block of applique (that will eventually think about becoming a quilt). . .
Left my slump behind in January and am rolling again!

If anyone was in a quilting slump, I was for 2 yrs. Made little things, but just wasn't into making quilts. Of course, moving out-of-state didn't help. Now, I'm happy to say, I'm making, first time ever, a bargello wall hanging. Maybe, all I needed was to be challenged a little.
Happy retirement. You'll have the time to finally enjoy what you want to do, anytime you want to do it!

My room/area is a total mess; I got a cat a couple of weeks ago and he prides himself on climbing on the tallest stacks of stuff and riding it to the floor ! Although it somewhat amuses me I need to get a handle on it.....maybe, just maybe, in the near future...
