I have a SEVERE case of Quilter's Block. At least that is what I am calling it! I haven't made anything since January. The panadiere was the last creation (and I was desperate to make more). We've moved house instead. So that was the original block - needing to pack sewing and everything else away, find a house (that bit was the trickiest, we were 2 weeks away from homelessness), and then move into it.
The "Block" now is my conscience. I have to teach the children, though yes real life is doing a lot of that too. So in all conscience, with boxes (still) to unpack, homes for things to find, little mouths the feed and Little Hs to teach... I can't exactly spend every spare (ha ha) minute sewing. I have lots of ideas, and do need to make an ideas list. That will help with the Quilter's Block no end. Cos I will feel like something is happening and I will have some sewing time soon. I'll carve it out from somewhere. With Little H-Joy due in June, if I don't do some sewing soon it's going to be AGES before I do any more and I did have big plans for this sewing year.
Just had a realisation, though, that I don't have a nice hard wooden floor any more for pinning out quilts before, well, quilting them... I guess I will have to look at how other people do it. I doubt you can do it on lino. And I doubt even more that the lino in the kitchen would EVER be clean enough...
