Hi and welcome from Arizona. I too was victim of the big "d" and I learned that the great thing about life is - it always changes and nothing stays the same - especially the bad. Hoping for better days ahead for you.

For years I sewed on my kitched table. Turned out a lot of good stuff too. There was clothing, quilts and household things. Sew where you are planted. 10 minutes of sewing a day will eventually cause something to be created. A creative mind is a terrible thing to waste. So find your fabrics Katie, and your machine and make yourself feel better. A lot of us don't have much time or energy. We do what we love that's all.

Sorry to hear that "d" word...me, too, 20 years ago (after 32 years of marriage). Fortunately for me, I got a 2 bedroom house so the second bedroom is my sewing room and the kicker is I can sew to my heart's content - no grumbling from the other half. You'll get there.

I understand. When I went through the "d" I had to stop my sewing of all varieties and I sewed A LOT. I actually sewed for stores, craft shows and to dress my children. The machine never left the table. After the "d" I began to work outside of the home because I had to and between children, work and going to school I had no time for sewing at all. Time passed, life eased into a better place, school was completed, the children grew older and I began to use my sewing machine again. We all have times and seasons in our lives. What is our passion will return when the season is right.

Have you read the Cobblestone Court Quilt books? I think the author is Bostwick. They are about a woman who walks the treacherous path of divorce and who is a quilter. I know it is fiction but it is also a good escape that any quilter can relate to on many levels. If you can't quilt right now, read about quilting.

I had to put a few years between myself and the "d" before I could enjoy cooking and sewing again. I am sure there is an explaination but I just couldn't do it. Hang in there, time will help you get your "sewing mojo" back :)

Find a small corner and start quilting 10-15 minutes you will find that it will relax you and cheer up your mood for the coming day. Welcome
