Lost mojo and felt flowers;

I am sorry I have not post for a little while now but unfortunately I recently lost my mojo and I am really struggling to get even a small part of it back. I have not done any sewing since I tried to quilt my spring flowers quilt.  I have however, unpicked all the terrible quilting on this quilt and I am now back to a top, the wadding and the backing. As you know I could not bare to even look at this quilt, I was so sad because I had ruined it.   When I went to Liverbirds a couple of weeks ago I was so inspired by my friends Gwen and Sue's spring flowers quilt I came home and retrieved the quilt and began unpicking it. I have requested the help now of my fab friend Janet who I hope, will help me fall in love with quilting once again.  In the meantime I did manage to make these beautiful felt flower broaches.

I think we all get in a lump from time to time and you are a really prolific crafter when you're in the swing of things.
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAD TO PICK OUT THE QUILTING, i HAVE ONE LIKE THAT WHICH i KEEP EYEING UP OOps cap lock on, sorry.
I think you did the right thing as it would be a shame to be unhappy with it after all the work that went into piecing.
Have a great weekend! xx

Love the little brooches. I am off to a wedding at the end of August and need just a little something to brighten up my outfit. If I bring the outfit on Wednesday, can we see if one of them inspires? I am sure they are as nice in the flesh as in the photo. Don't worry about the mojo, it will be floating about somewhere and suddenly reappear and catch you unawares!
