From Stuck to Stitching: Simple Strategies to Fall in Love with Quilting Again

In this episode of Patchwork Revival, I share my journey of reigniting my passion for quilting after the holiday season. We’re talking about the importance of understanding why you quilt, the therapeutic benefits of sewing, and ways to find inspiration when your creative tank is empty. I’ll also tell you all about a personal project inspired by a photograph of my grandmother, and offer practical tips for getting back to your quilting roots, including engaging with quilting communities and trying new techniques. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the joy and challenges of balancing creativity with life's demands.
