Blockage

Although I have not been posting, it is not because I have not been sewing.  Actually, I was considering putting a list of works in progress up, as I have so many right now.  Only nothing gets finished.

I am experiencing some difficulty in working on projects.  It seems as if I am blocked in one way or another in all my projects.  This one needs a different sewing needle, this one isn't going together the way I envisioned and I need to figure out a new way to put it together.  That one needs some fresh ideas, that other one needs a practice session lest I ruin the (Excellent so far) work I have done.  And the BIG BLOCK, yes it deserves capital letters, is the big quilt, which I have almost completed.  I just have to sew on ONE outer border, just one.  And I have it all cut out, and have been meaning to do it daily for over a week.  It sat for a while on my sewing room table, waiting to be finished.  Now I have moved it downstairs and it sits on the kitchen island.  Unfortunately, it is growing used to being there, and starting to blend in with the furniture.  In another few days, we won't "see" it anymore.  My eyes will just pass right over it.

I don't even know why I am so blocked on this particular step.  I had thought that it might be because as soon as I get this done, the next step will be to put it together with the backing (already picked out) and batting (already measured out) and quilt it.  I thought the thought of quilting a big quilt might be the hang up, but I am quilting a slightly smaller quilt, and it is coming out okay.  (I have to practice more.) ( But I guess I'm no longer thinking that I am scared by the quilting.)

I had hoped that writing this post would help me to realize what the hang up is.  Or perhaps I just need to "Just Do It".  Just Do It, Suzie.  Just do it.

Hope you don't have anything in your life stopping you from doing what you like.
