where did the inspiration go?

I just don't have much to say these days...I know I know, that sounds so out of character. Lately I have been reading and knitting, nothing out of the ordinary in the book department, and certainly nothing exciting. It is like knitting for the sake of knitting. I haven't found anything challenging or fun. I will keep looking, but there might be a detour. Up in NH there is a little town called Centre Harbor. Very cute and charming village and a pretty wonderful restaurant called Canoe, but I digress...There is a terrific knitting store and next to it, there is a quilting store. A couple of weeks ago, we had the owner give us a very long and concise explanation if why a quilt is valuable or a work of art. It peeked my curiosity...minor problem is that I don't know how to put needle and thread to cloth, but that has never stopped me before. It is a possibility that will be my next project, but I just need to get bitten by creativity and that has been eluding me lately. For X-Mas we will be up here for a while..maybe the bulb will go on.
