    I am now paper piecing and making some hexagons by hand.

    I hope to hear back from all of you quilters around the world.

    I quilt at every opportunity and time of day doesn't matter. When I get a quilt sandwiched and ready and it's bed time, too bad. I have to quilt a minimum of one hour no matter how tired I'm before being able to settle down and sleeping. Now I can ONLY hand quilt that late at night. If I'm doing machine work, I don't dare do it that late as I'd never settle down to go to sleep. I know because I've seen the sun rise while in that frenzy. LOL. I machine piece in my computer/sewing/craft room but hand quilt in my love seat recliner in the living room with the good TV. I do have a nice TV in my sewing room too as I do enjoy having it on while I work. I have an Ott floor lamp by my sewing machine and another out in the living room behind my love seat. After doing without I told my husband I had to have them - older eyes evidently.

    Mostly at night after everyone has gone to bed. I'm one of those "night owls". But if I get a chance, I'll quilt whenever. I was just cutting out some stuff to sew on later.

    I mostly quilt during the day... late morning and afternoon. By evening, I'm ready to sit with my hubby and watch tv and get on my computer!!

    I usually machine sew during the day while dh is at work and hand work in the evening so I can be downstairs with him... if he's busy or away - I'll sew anytime.

    Normally at night, but could be whenever I feel well enough to sew/quilt.
