Has anyone ever wanted to give up quilting?

I, as well, go in streaks. It must be a mood thing for me. Right now I'm cross stitching - even take this outside!! Do not do any applique or hexes. Probably when fall and winter gets here, will be involved with my sewing machine. I enjoy reading all the comments on this thread.

I didn't sew all summer, then got back into it the other day. I wasn't interested. I think I will ask my doctor about changing or increasing the anti-depressant. I don't want to quit making quilts, but am changing the kind I make, and the size. Starting back on small wall hangings, but still only sew about an hour a day. Talk about needing a kick in the pants.

This is my thought.......I believe your mom probably feels overwhelmed - maybe because there is so much material and she wants to do all these projects that it DOES become overwhelming. I too have felt like getting rid of some material (I don't have as much as your mom as you say). I keep telling myself....one project at a time!

1997-2008 all i did was help a freind make quillows for her xmas gifts and 2 adult bunny suits for at work at easter time, Dh and a guy played easter bunny. between working and my son getting chemo treatment for 1 1/2 years and 2 operations to take out his lumph nodes for melonoma cancer and then having surgery myself.I didn't touch anything till after my stroke in 2008. it is a slow process and I work on smaller things now and am learning to embroider some when not sewing or on the board. still learning the new techniques they have now before i did it the old way with templates like my ex MIL taught me and i belonged to the quilter Bonesteels club so I went by her template method.glad to be doing things again and that i founds such a great group here. I have been learning more here than i ever did in a class. thank you.

Sometimes when I see how expensive fabric, notions, batting etc is getting, but then I get over it! I don't smoke, chase wild men or drink too extream, so I guess I'll deal with it! ;) :roll:
