Re: Need inspiration......
Sorry that you're in a funk...think we've all been there at one time or another. How about stepping away from sewing/quilting for a while and doing something different. Knitting, crochet ?? Just don't stop and do nothing..that can be a slippery slope! Then after a while the joy of quilting might come back with gusto. Baby steps....good luck
Re: Need inspiration......
Have you looked at the Iron Quilter section? About every tutorial Jenny has done lately was represented there.

Re: Need inspiration......
Walk away from it for awhile and make something small and quick. I had the same problem getting inspired to finish up a bunch of Christmas projects. I left everything in the sewing area a mess and did some small projects with candy bars. I had fun and now I'm ready to go back and start sewing again. Jean is right, there's a lot of inspiration on the IQ entries.

Oh, Sharyn, those are fantastic - the DGDs would absolutely LOVE them - maybe I still have time for them to do some for their sisters. Thanks~~
Re: Need inspiration......
Browse the tutorials? Google various types of quilts? I do that a lot....
Re: Need inspiration......
Good luck!! I took days off and while it did feel good, I am cutting pillow cases out :-) Then those cute Fabric boxes, then the no-sew Fabric Ordanments.
Moda Bakeshop a lot of folks like to stroll through by Jelly Roll or using Charms, Layer Cakes
Here's another one with many eye candy Quilt Patterns | AllPeopleQuilt.com
Maybe a break for a few days is what you need? (((hugs))) Good luck Klasien
Re: Need inspiration......
If anyone needs the graphic, directions, and poem for the snowman (microwave popcorn wrapper), I will be willing to forward it. I was going to embed the link to HGTV's site but either the graphic is no longer available or it is the "operator". :) This was a free pattern so there should not be an issue with sharing.
Re: Need inspiration......
I agree with Sharon. Do a small project, rather than trying to plan something big. It will recharge your engine.
Re: Need inspiration......
sometimes when I don't feel like sewing I go in and clean and straighten the sewing room and then start cutting out new projects. I do lots of the self binding baby blankets and I match up 2 fabrics and cut them to size and store them in a tub. then when I am ready to make some up they are all ready to sit and sew.

Oohh! Oohh! Me! Me! Please...:)
Thank you!
Re: Need inspiration......
I agree with the Moda site too. They have some fresh designs and small projects that are always nice.
Re: Need inspiration......
I took a few months off earlier this year and everything was still there when I felt like getting back to it. There was so much going on in my family at the end of last year and the beginning of this year that I just couldn't focus on sewing / quilting. So give yourself a break and don't stress over it.
Re: Need inspiration......
I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I believe the original designer now has a copy write on the snowman pattern and has withdrawn the free pattern from sites where it was previously shared. I purchased the pattern a few weeks ago at Laurie Furnell Designs, sold on etsy. It's only $1. Forgive me if I'm wrong about this, just don't want anyone to get in trouble for sharing her design on the web.
