Many (many, many) years ago, my mother told me that it was said that servile work should not be done on Sundays.....but she then said that sewing to her was pleasure and she continued to do so on Sundays......as do I.

and I enjoy it as much on Sundays as any other day of the week !!!!

I quilt just about every Sunday ! My DH loves to watch NASCAR and westerns so I give him the TV on Sundays so I can spend time in my quilt room. Works for both of us !!

Sunday is a day to rest and relax and quilting is certainly relaxing.

If I was quilting for money I wouldn't quilt on Sunday, but I don't anyway.

I have heard this all my life too and think it is just one of those things that our elders felt was for a day of rest because they had no ohter down time. I do not usually sew on sunday because it is a day of rest for me but, if I wanted to I see no reason that I could not do it. It is not a sin. :)
