So Slow, Mojo! Updated!
What IS the matter with a person who is between quilts projects, and cannot decide upon the next one? I am there. I feel as if I have writer's block with my sewing machine! Quilter's Block. (pun intended or not)
I did make my August bee blocks for Linn before she smacked me with her royal wand! (hi Linn!)
I'm always glad when something I make goes into a charity quilt. But how do YOU break that awful feeling when you don't know where to start again?
Suggestions helpful!! I shall link up to Sew Cute Tuesday at Blossom Heart Quilts and maybe some inspiration will strike!

I did received some kind suggestions, and pulled fabric, and played with it a little. I also cleaned off my cutting table!! What a big help that was!!

I will have two new quilt tops to piece and have fun with, while getting my two tops ready to quilt. One is from a magazine I already own (and bought solely because I love the cover quilt) here, and the other is from a tutorial from Suz, and I love it because it is Scrappy and FUN!
I feel SO MUCH BETTER!!

I search Pinterest and find something that I love. And then decide if I love it enough to try to re-create it in my own style. Or I pull out a sketch book and start doodling. Or I take a nap. :) Good luck finding your sewjo again, and hopefully finding a fun, creative process for yourself along the way!
ReplyDeleteSo funny you posted this at this exact time; I'm feeling exactly the same way. I have 3 tops that need basted and quilted but I want to start another project. I *think* I know what fabric I want to use so I've been scouring Pinterest and quilt blogs to find a pattern that speaks to me. Good luck! Hopefully you'll find your next project soon. :)
ReplyDeletePinterest is always good. Have a look through quilts or other images/ideas you've already pinned - if you're anything like me you might pin away but not really remember what's on your boards until you have a browse through.
ReplyDeleteOooo, creative block is the worst! I generally pin a HEAP of stuff - then look through my pins and pick something easy. And cleaning my studio often gets the mojo flowing again. Hope your block disappears soon.
