I am just coming out of my slump of quite a few weeks. I couldn't even read blogs! I had over 3500 posts on my bloglines to be read. I am nearly caught up now, and have started a little bit of sewing, but I'm not at the "lying in bed at night thinking about quilt designs" stage yet. It comes back eventually.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434857739724897230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-60909018574320432422007-11-16T13:56:00.000-08:002007-11-16T13:56:00.000-08:00If it helps, you've been a huge inspiration to me ...If it helps, you've been a huge inspiration to me and got me motivated once again.

You have so many "uptodate" fabric. Darlene, they are just beautiful. No, I don't think you are slumping. Find a book and curl up for a few days and read. Sewing fingers need rest too. Have you read the "Good Yarn" books by Debbie Macomber? She has a connecting story called Susannah's Garden too. Helen Kelley has a couple of books from her columns in the Quilter's Magazine too. Those are great too. You'l come out this "spell" before you know it...Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359729464800550859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-77394320042245370102007-11-15T08:47:00.000-08:002007-11-15T08:47:00.000-08:00I always pick up applique when I'm slumping.
