Maybe something that I'd be able to do ten minutes a day or see it completed in part at least quickly.
Thanks!

It happens to all of us. I usually use that time to clean, organize and purge things from my room. That way when I'm in the mood to quilt again, everything is ready and waiting for me. I have even unearthed some great things that have inspired my next project.

Me? Just got out of the slump. Decided to sort fab on Thanksgiving..no guests so it's my day...and low and behold decided to do something using Drunkards Path block. Dug out my batiks and now realized I need to make two quilts for friends. Just go with the flow. The quilting urge will return. Outside forces do reflect on my quilting.

I know how you feel I'm in the same mode. It is also called depression, I had alot going on in my life since 07' had a breakdown and other health problems. I started to get feeling alot better after a long while and I started to work on something and then it happened again. I keep trying to get back to working on something but there is still alot going on. keep in touch with your friends and on here and keep your Faith. I will keep you in my Prayers too

So I have decided to take an applique class the Sunday after Thanksgiving to try to take me out of this slump... Sure hope this works...
My husband passed away 6 years ago...I had a long slump after that and here and there still go through some times that I just don't feel like sewing...and am in another now as my brother passed away earlier last month...3 months is very recent for you...but hopefully you will come to find that most of the time again quilt can be theraputical. I hope you enjoy your applique class.

It seems quite a few of us go through this. I try to focus on a small project rather than something that I have to concentrate on or a large one. Then like other posters, I will straighten up my craft room and go through and organize and put everything in place. If I still dont feel motivated then I give it a rest. The enthusiasum always come back.
