    I have the same problem. Last week it was no holds barred...
    This week I haven't even picked up a needle.
    I wanted to have my nephew's quilt pieced by now, but I guess I have to start sewing first! LOL!

    I DO have the quilt cut out, and all of my laundry done -probably for the first time in 2008. :oops:

    I go in spurts, too. I think about it everyday, and read this board everyday but only get the chance to sew on weekends. I always feel like I am not accomplishing anything and that I waste too much time buying fabric and looking at patterns when I should be actually sewing something. I really enjoy this "time wasting" so is it wrong?

    Well I am 8 months pregnant so my quilting has been severely limited. Cutting is a little hard since I can't see past my belly and sitting at the sewing machine gets uncomfortable fast. The other day though I wanted to quilt sooooooo bad but I just couldn't get comfortable. It was killing me! *laughing*

    I tend to sew/quilt in spurts through out the year. Sometimes I sew for days on end then sometimes I go for weeks without touching my machine. If I'm not sewing, I'm reading quilt magazines or designing quilts.
