At some point in the last couple of months I thought I might be motivated to sew SOMETHING. That really hasn’t happened and now I find myself with a few quilt tops that need to be quilted. If they were my own tops, I’m sure I would let them languish until something once again sparked my interest in quilting. But, these are other people’s projects–ones I volunteered to quilt months ago before all my sew-jo left.
May’s OMG (One Monthly Goal) may be just the motivation I need to jump start my quilting again. Since a couple of these are baby quilts with a deadline, my goal for the month is to quilt these four quilts. Three are pretty small and the fourth is a biggie so it should be doable even though May is about to get super busy.
I love that Patty at Elm Street Quilts hosts the OMG challenge each month. It is nice to have that little motivational carrot to draw me out of a slump. Be sure to check out the links here to see what other quilters are hoping to accomplish this month. I think a little time spent looking at all these beautiful projects might be enough to get anyone excited about quilting!
Your sew-jo will pick up … ask me how I know. I’m not sure what happens to it, but it comes back. For me, I think it’s my adult ADD … I get bored easily and move on temporarily to a different thing (reading, knitting, binge-watching something) that grabs me. But quilting has a hold on me, and I always return to it. My advice: Don’t fight it!
Sewing joy always comes back, when you have the time to just enjoy and not stress about it. Good luck.
Those look like wonderful quilts. Welcome to One Monthly Goal! Thanks for linking up and good luck with your project!
I also appreciate Patty’s OMG sign up. She is the boost that I need to accomplish certain goals. The baby quilts are cute and fun to create for children! Good luck with you goals this month, and may your sew-jo be nurtured!
