I hear I’m not alone, but I have very much been in a sewing slump. I’m anxious, easily distractible, and unmotivated. It’s not that I don’t want to be sewing or finishing quilts. I do. But it is just not happening at the moment. Mostly, I’m just trying to lean into the season of life.
For the summer I have enjoyed spending time with my kids, gone camping, spent time with family, played board games, read books, and watched a lot of baseball. Oh, and we’ve been enjoying the Summer Of Novelty Ice Cream Eating (or SO NICE). I’ve done just a little bit of sewing for bee blocks and teaching. That’s okay.
With the shift to school starting this week, the pace of life changes with it. Due to some upcoming non-quilting life tasks I won’t be ramping up my studio time real soon.
I have a break from teaching in August and I’m looking forward to a couple in-person teaching engagements in September. (See where I’ll be in my schedule below.) And I have a couple ideas percolating for upcoming quilt submissions.
Happy quilting,
