Hello friends,
I realize it has been a while, but I am back today with a brand new blog post for you!
Not only have I not written a blog post in forever, I also haven't sewn anything in a long, long time...( or so it feels to me!). I was starting to think I might have to pull out and use the dust cover to protect my sewing machine, something which I have never, ever done! What a sad state of affairs, don't you agree?
Do you find that when you haven't sewn for a bit, it is really hard to get back into the groove of things? Today I went into my quilt room with the full intention of finding a brand new project to start, and instead I decided to mow the lawn and mop our hallway ~ and not only that, I even removed the heating vent to clean and spray paint it! If that isn't procrastination I don't know what is! When I finished those tasks, I printed off a brand new quilt pattern to start on, and guess what I'm doing instead? Right! Sitting here and writing a blog post! Send help, I think there is something seriously wrong with me... :D
But seriously now, I think I just have to head upstairs, pull some fun fabric, and start a new, quick, and easy project. Hopefully that will kickstart my creativity once again.
Oh, and in case you are wondering which project I'm going to make...here it is:
I think I'll pull out a layer cake, or maybe even some scraps. This should be a fun one. I will keep you up to date on the progress!
Until next time~happy creating!
Monique
That will be a fun quilt to get back in the groove.
ReplyDeleteI think so...nothing too long or complicated ;)
DeleteI can identify with the total lack of motive, only mine lasted almost 2 years! I got caught up making masks and gowns during the pandemic and didn't even want to look at my machine. I finally got back to doing something last fall and currently am working on a little patriotic wall hanging. My thinking is that if I can sew an hour a day, in a week I will have sewn a whole day...not bad for a 79 year old! Keep quilting!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that yours lasted so long! But you have the right idea...even a short time every day will add up. Thanks for sharing your story with me xx
DeleteDpring and summer is always like that. Sewing becomes second. Being cooped up all winter! I did find sewing for 30 min a day helpful, eaither early in am or after dark when going outside not top priority. Also on those nice rainy days, sewing as it rains. Just doing s little each day, will surprise you how much u can accomplish in a week. Small projects are also fun to do. Stitching outside in the shade or on the porch in pm is relaxing. I also find looking at the books we have collected with quilts or projects is motivating and begins the planning of fall or Christmas ideas!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Deb! And I do believe I can ease back into it in that manner. Thanks for your suggestions!
DeleteGasp - you chose lawn mowing over quilting?!? Hey it happens to all of us! I chose reorganizing things over time in the studio! I like the pattern you are going to make - that will be cute :-)
ReplyDeleteI know, right? And at least you were doing something that was ultimately going to make your sewing time more pleasant...I'm not sure a freshly mowed lawn counts towards that ;)
