Help, I have lost my quilting mojo!!

I can't find my ambition, my inspiration, my enthusiasm, my mojo.  I have lots and lots of project ideas but there they sit.  I can't decide on what to start next.  Maybe I am on overload and need to take a break.  I did sew this week end and finished a couple of little quilt tops.  The first is a quilt called "Kaye's Scrap Squares" from a Fons and Porter Scrap Quilts 2011.  I want to use a flannel backing so I can cuddle up with the dogs this winter!


The second quilt is a tutorial called "This Way and That Way" from Pleasant Home Patterns.  I used a bunch of Fig Tree fabric from my stash.


Okay, I have turned my sewing machine and iron off.  If you have any advice, please let me know!

  2. It happens to me, too. It's usually because I'm overwhelmed and have too many projects that I want to do and not enough time to do all of them. It helps to make a list and then prioritize. Don't worry. Your mojo will return.

  4. I clean and reorganize my sewing room for a fresh start. I also do what you do and work on small projects -my "notquilts". Finally I browse pinterest, tumblr, and etsy for inspiration.

  5. Don't feel alone. Maybe you could whip up some of those fleece socks for a change from quilting for awhile. I am sure you will get hit with the bug again real soon.

  6. Sandy - it happens to all super great quilters - just take a little breather. And do what Ramona suggested - sew some socks!!!
