Is sewing block a thing? I’ve been experiencing it lot in recent years. sometimes it lasts for months or years, sometimes a few hours or days. I know how to loosen this block, but whether I actually do it, is up in the air.

The best cure for sewing block, for me, is to get out the scarp bins. Just Sew Scraps could be a mantra.

I have been stumped with the quilt I’m working on. I’ve been only a few lines of quilting away from being ready to bind for over a month now. And yet, somehow I never pick it up to finish. The folded quilt leers at me from it’s spot near my favorite chair, ready for me to pick it up. The thread sits patiently on my desk so I have to look at it every morning. And yet….

Rooting around in the scrap bins feels less weighty, easier to tackle, more like play.

So, a few days ago I did the thing that I know will help unblock my sewing block, and I started sewing some scraps. And I feel so much better!!

What helps you unblock when you are suffering from a sewing block?
