Do you quilt/sew daytime, evening or night time?

I sew during the day and rarely at night as I am too tired at night. Lately my best sewing time is from 9:30-noon. I love to go to all day sew ins too--sometimes I do more chit chatting there than sewing--LOL.

I use a needle dome and it is similar without the knots.

I would if I could but my back usally tells me enough already! LOL Today I loaded a quilt on my Lizzie for quilting--prep time takes a while too.
