All the time, sometimes i spend hours every day for a month or two and then i don't touch my machine for 2 months.

Been there, done that, went to my stash and touched the fabric, always seems to get me going

I am going through the same thins right now. I just finished the hardest quilt I've ever done, and now I need to rest. I don't feel like sewing, so I put everything away until the beginning of the year. A local pet shelter needs hand-made cat beds that use fleece and foam, but are not sewn, so I am working on those. I'm not pressuring myself over the holidays to get back to quilting.

This happens to me more than I like it to happen. Kinda was in the same 'funk' for several months, not getting anything done but dreaming of all the quilts I wanted to make. Finally got into the mood to sew sew quilt quilt, and duh, now I'm back to that funk. Hate it.

hopefully you and I will get the 'snowball' moving and rolling along making quilts again, not wanting to stop to take a break.

I have never heard of "bed socks" could you let me know something about them and do you have a pattern, I too need a small project just to keep me in the sewing room without any stress. Thank you

I get inspiration from others work....this list does it for me. Also a quilting quild that my wife and I belong too. Tonight was quild and I came home and immediately put another pattern on my list and then signed on here.

When it happened to me I finally decided to make potholders. I did 8 and each was a different pattern. Then I decided to do 8 more, then I decided to make another quilt with sampler blocks. :mrgreen:

Pleeese do not make it work. Some times you just need to take a break to refuel and reignite your imagination. Give your self permission to be still so you can recover from the many demand and tasks to be juggled. be gentle with yoursel ;-)

I say at this time you just need to sit back and pat yourself on the back for what you have accomplished this year as a whole. That was alot of projects AND a big trip. Enjoy the holiday season and I have a feeling after the new year your interest in creating will be renewed. Have a joyful and restful Holiday! :thumbup:

Wow! That's a lot of quilting you did in preparation for this trip! You know, in music it isn't all action; there are rests interspersed with the notes to make a song complete. I think it is like that in our lives. We weren't designed to go full throttle 24/7. Give yourself a little rest to allow your creativity to rise to the surface again. I'm sure it will, and you will be posting pictures of the beautiful things you made:-)
