I quilt mostly during the day when no one is around. After that, it's whenever.

I sew during the day. I was lucky enough to find an old portable school room and get it moved to our place in the country. when I get ready to sew, I just go into my "sewing space"

I take yo-yo's with me if we travel. I have them in a small cosmetic bag with about 50 circles pre-cut. I can whip up one or two on a short trip.

Someone gave me a yo yo maker recently.
Have you tried one? You can make one in about ten minutes .
You start with 5 and half inch square for one that I have.
You sandwich it and trim around. Easy to do and not have to worry about circles. I love it as it is so fast. It is really neat neat :thumbup: It too can be taken with you. Mine goes to doctors to work on while waiting. Or to work on while just waiting in auto for DH who will "only be a minute", helps pass the time.

Seems everyone is quilting all throughout the day and evenings. I have been only working on my things in the day. In the evenings I am generally tired and find coming online a bit to catch the board here and watching a bit of TV or reading is all I can manage! I am just feeling my way now in quilting. Started a pinwheel quilt, simple (supposibly)hehehe... making form some bandanas I bought last year on sale and might need some extra material to complete. Cut a bunch out and started sewing the triangles together today. So will see how it goes over the next few days!

This is interesting to me. I "don't work" either, but since I have retired I am busier than when I worked. I do try to get to my sewing as often as I can find a sensible block of time. And YES, I confess, I spend too much time here. :oops: Last night I stitched for a few minutes on a binding I've been trying to finish. When my eyelids dropped, I put the sewing away. Woke up at three and got back to it for about an hour. Picked it up again this afternoon and finished that side. I try.

I work 3rd shift. So that is when most of my quilting gets done. Rita Tennessee

I do my quilt projects while His Highness is still at work and do hand sewing or other sewing projects in the evening while we watch TV. His Nibs is somewhat jealous of me spending so much time with "sewing stuff" but I think that is because he cannot multi-task. If I have to just sit and watch TV and not have anything to do I go nuts.
