Hello Ann Care
I sew every day, until 6pm, except for forced breaks - eating, visitors, phone calls. When not swing I'm plotting and scheming the next project :roll: :lol: Retirement gives one that privilege When working full time for 28 years I kntited in buses, on trains, in cinemas, and evenings - wouldn't know how to sit still I must be a workaholic :lol:

Wow I was just thinking of asking the same question of the quilters here..."do you sew every day".
I've been thinking and doing so many things quilt related that some tasks around the house are falling behind.
So my *new frame of mind* is to 'get things done quickly' so I can 'quilt without guilt' later in the day (or on my day off).
I like OLDHAG's idea of getting organized so when we have 15 or 30 or 60 minutes to sneak in some quilt time...we can do it easily.
Guess like everything else in life -
You'll never FIND TIME for _______ (fill in the blank)
You have to MAKE TIME for _______ (fill in blank)

When I'm at home in Lubbock, I'll try to sew a little bit every day, unless I have company. If I don't have a specific project in the works, I just practice blocks I like the look of and turn them into potholders or table toppers. When I'm in Austin, I don't get to sew too much. I don't have a good place to set up that isn't in the way. And I have my grandson every day.

Almost everyday. I use my machine on weekends but durring the week, I hand quilt in the evenings watching Young and Restless. My DH records it for me and that is "me" time. It is a great way to de-stress at the end of the day.

I sew pretty much everyday , sometimes a few hrs at a time and other times longer! and if not sewing, I am looking at this board and books, magazines etc. Today I went to the fabric store and purchased some Halloween material, washed it and now will press it for cutting next! But I must finish a project first, doll quilt exchange quilt. My daughter asked me today if I ever get tired of working on something to do with quilting, I said.. at the moment NO, I have had moments where I needed to step back and prioritize what needs to be done first and also "household" things!!
