    I get inspired by looking at all the beautiful finished quilts here, by looking at quilting magazines, and surfing quilting sites.

    When I get there I open the curtains wide, put on some really great music and sit down and finish the project on my sewing machine. Sometimes it is just that I didn't feel like working on the one on the machine. Make something super fast like a mug rug and you will get excited again.

    Sunlight... get some sun. There is a type of depression associated with the lack of sunlight. If the sun is'nt shining, go to Lowes, Home Depot, maybe even Walmart and get a full spectrum light bulb. Sit under it for several days and see if that helps. Music gets me out of the duldrums..crank 'er up and dance!

    I have just started to come out of a two month slump. After watching the four patch vidio posted on this sight, I just grabed some 5 inch squares cut from scrap and started making four patches. Now am picking away at the four working projects started prior to the slump.

    How about a fabric road trip? Works for me.

    I'm there too for no reason. I am guessing the urge will come back sooner or later.
