When I quit drinking, everything was so different I didn't sew for 10
months. Just wasn't sure how I'd do it without a beer (or stronger) nearby.
That's the truth, too altho' now it sounds just goofy! Then I made a
long-promised Log Cabin for my Dad's 70th birthday. Made that bugger in 5
weeks flat in spite of my 50+ hour/week job. Stayed up til midnight on the
weekends sewing, stone sober. It's the fastest quilt I've ever made and it
turned out beautifully. (What a surprise--my accuracy improved when I wasn't
drunk!!) Been happily sewing and not drinking ever since ;-))))

I was reading Medium Gnome's thread on her Dear Jane blocks and the topic
of
putting quilting on hold came up. Which brings me to ask you all...have
you
ever put your quilting on hold? Why? Did you store your fabrics and
quilting goodies or get rid of them? How long was it until you got back
to
quilting?
