Being in a rut

For a few months now I have been in a rut as far as quilting is concerned. I chalked it up to the holiday season, illness, and also, (the most painful), the death of a very dear friend. Every time I would try to work on a project I would spend so much time ripping out the mistakes that I became very frustrated. And to top it all off the quilt pattern was an easy beginner piece. Finally, my mother advised me, "Maybe you should give your quilting a break for a while." So I stopped quilting. I am at a point now of trying to return to quilting by laying the other project aside and starting on a new one. It is going very very slowly. I am sure with time I will be able to get out of this rut.

I am not sure how this thing that I love to do has become a grind on which my mind cannot focus. Has anyone else felt this same thing? Are there any ideas or suggestions of what I can do. I really do love the creativity of quilting.
