Hi Twisted Quilter,
I don't know if you entered the discussion I posted a couple
of weeks ago telling about the huge slump I have been in
for a year or longer. I got many wonderful replies and also
learned there were many in the exact same place I was.
Anyway, just reading the other replies, suggestions, etc.,
really helped me. I'm not quite ready to proclaim that my
slump is over, but I have gotten motivated to cut out some
fabrics for a quilt so that I can audition them on my wall to
see how they look in the block. So, maybe that is a start.
I will be anxious to hear how things go for you from here.
Hopefully one day soon I will be able to loudly say that my
slump has officially come to an end.

Oh, and yes, some cool weather would definitely help - we
have been baking here in Texas the entire month of Aug -
Actual temps haven't gotten below 100 plus with heat
indexes at around 110 - 115 degrees. Try working on a
quilt in that misery. :<

I, too, am in a slump. I guess this is what happens when one gets high speed internet and then finds a quilter's message board! I suppose quilter's slump is like "writer's block."

She's baaaaaack! Great news, and yes, angelarose, it is like writers block. What we do is a creative process, not a job!
And to others who are in a slump - it will pass, in it's own season.

Thankfully I haven't had a quilting slump since I started machine quilting. I have tons of fabrics that I want to sew into quilts. I can make one in 2 weeks. Glad your slump is over.

OK I'm stuck!!!I am an avid hand quilter but after listening to all of you i am open to change. i just completed a fall wall hanging and thot i would try machine quilting. My local quilt shop suggested the invisible thread on the top. i am trying it but not real thrilled. Is this something you get used too! Also my machine (Viking Designer I calls for a special quilting foot. i did not get one with my machine and I have a feeling it's going to be expensive to buy one. Does anyone have any suggestions as to using something else instead of the invisible thread and do i really need a special quilting foot?
