Has been hot and dry here.  Dry meaning no rain.  Has been humid, some days worse than others.  Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow though.  We need some.


I have been wondering what inspires other quilters to make a new quilt.  I never thought I would run out of ideas or the desire to make a quilt, but that seems to have happened.  This has been going on for several years now .  Right now I would say I am at the bottom of the "make a quilt ladder".  Can't seem to get that particular part of my brain going.  I have a quilt in progress, but it has been in progress for a few months now.   I have gone to quilt shops, admired all the samples hanging on the walls,  bought fabric that I did not need but really liked and have watched a few quilting shows on TV.  I do a lot of gardening in the summer, but have always told myself, in the winter I will sew.  So ladies, my question to you is #1 have you ever been in a slump where you did not want to sew/quilt?
Question #2 what inspires you to sit up all night making the next quilt?  Well maybe not all night, but
where you don't want to stop for anything.....
thanks
