    I try to sneak down to my sewing room in the basement for an hour a day, usually in the afternoon or evening. I always have several projects at various stages going on at once. Right now I have one I am cutting, one on the frame to machine quilt and another I am hand quilting (which I can do while I watch TV with the family). If the kids don't have sports on Saturday or Sunday, I will spend about half the day sewing!

    I end up getting sewing time after dinner and usually after my kids are in bed. By then, I have picked up the house (as much as I feel like after a busy day at work), cleaned up from dinner, and have spent time with the kids. I always feel too guilty heading back to my sewing room when I haven't finished all the tasks around the house I need to. I also have kids in Taekwondo, which takes up about two hours an evening. So, I quilt for about an hour or two.

    I quilt mostly in the daytime but I also have a shoebox of quilting hand work that I do while watching tv with DH. I need to have my hands busy all the time or I would go up the wall.

    Hi, Mary Alice
    I can't believe that someone on this board has the same name as I do. This post re: quilting in the basement sure isn't me but signed with my name. Should I be getting a pseudonym or something?

    I work during the day, I try to cut or piece in the evening or quilt if I have one ready. I usually always sew on the weekends while I'm doing laundry, cleaning, etc. I only get a couple of hours in the evenings as I share my sewing room with 4 cats and they want to go to bed at 8PM and will just stay in there until I get the hint and leave.
    I am retiring in June and will get more time to quilt when I want. DH is still working and does not plan to retire. I usually cook pot dishes on Sundays and we eat leftovers in the evenings, or maybe nothing.

    I work part time and quilt mostly evenings and weekends. I've done a lot of "stitching" and "pinning" during commercials. LOL

    Since I'm disabled I can quilt whenever but I do tend to sew more in evening and late into the night. DH works a second job and is gone over night so I can sew as I wish!!

    We shut the ringers off when we nap. Do not get much done after dinner without a nap.
