Hi Friend,
If your creativity feels like it’s stuck in a drawer next to your unfinished projects and that rotary cutter you swear you just had… you’re not alone.
We all hit moments where the inspiration fizzles out.
When even your favorite fabric feels “meh.”
When you scroll through photos of beautiful quilts and think,
“I’ll never make something like that.”
Here’s the truth no one tells you:
You don’t need inspiration to begin.
You just need movement. One cut. One seam. One block.
So instead of waiting for a lightning bolt of motivation, try this:
Sew one scrap to another. No plan. No pressure.
Quilt a sandwich of orphan blocks just to hear the hum of your machine.
Walk into your sewing space, set a timer for 10 minutes, and do something small.
You don’t have to create a masterpiece today.
You just have to remind yourself why you love this.
Even the tiniest stitches pull us forward.
And before you know it, that spark comes back—brighter than ever.
We believe in you. (And we’re here when you’re ready to play with fabric again.)
Need a little color boost? Drop by the shop.
Sometimes inspiration looks like batiks on a bolt. 😉
With you in every stitch,
—Donna
