I spend more hours *thinking* about quilting/sewing than actually doing it each day. It's a great feeling to have some tangible project in hand but I really enjoy too the whole thought process of planning, picking, looking, selecting, just using the imagination to come up with potential projects.

Between kids and school, not nearly as much as I want to. When the kids aren't fighting, or climbing on me or I don't have an assignment to complete I can sneak up to a half an hour in (if the kids don't decide to try to kill each other during that time) Once they go to bed, and I dont have homework to finish, I can get up to a solid hour in LOL.

I try to get in a couple hours each night. Sometimes life moves into that space, and other times I've become frustrated and had to walk out on it. Might take a couple days to go back to the machine, but I try to work in the evenings after supper and the man is back in his cave.

i also have health issues.i tend to quilt quilts in the fall and winter and piece them the other months.applique can be done in front of the tv.
i suppose i work on quilts anywhere from 1 to 2 hours a day and have completed more than 30 that way over the years.
