I now know how writer's feel when they have writer's block, because I think I am suffering from quilter's block, or sewing block, or whatever block you want to call it when one cannot get in the mood to be creative. I have sat in my sewing room looking around at all the lovely visuals and what do I do...just sit and stare. Do I want to quilt, sew, embroider, finish UFOs, or what? I just cannot make up my mind. Heck, I can't even think about what else I want to say in this blog...so that means I have writer's block now!
I usually get this way after I finish a big project...like the Christmas project I had this year. My sister ask me to make 12 Accessory bags with initials on them for her friend's Christmas presents. It would not have been so bad but I had to actually quilt the fabric first (18"x13" square, cross hatched). Then there was the cutting out, embroidering, putting in zippers, and adding a ruffle. It got a little daunting there, but I finished the project! I was so pooped after that I did not even want to sew for myself or make gifts. And to date I can't even think of a project to do. Woe is ME.
So, for now I will just Think It and maybe something creative will appear for me to DO! In the meantime I will visit my favorite blogs like quilt designer's MinnickandSimpson.com or Fresh Figs...they always inspire me.

I wish you could have come up for the show in Statesville. THAT would have put you in the mood!
Your room is lovely and inspiring... I'm sure something will come to you soon! I'm glad you're ba-a-a-ack! :)
One of the prettiest sewing rooms I've ever seen. Love the wall color and all the red just pops.
I do know what you mean about a sewing block. I've had it for a year now. I've got the material but haven't been motivated to get it done.
