I do my best to get in at least 1 hour of "quilting activity" every day. It isn't always sewing, cutting and ironing have to count too. I'm much happier if I get to play with my fabrics a bit every day (since we no longer have a fur baby).

If I could I would sew at least an hour every night, maybe I should pull my sewing machine into the living room and sew while my husband is studying for class.

We are empty nesters and about 7 months ago I moved my sewing machine into the living room, and then left table and used it for Christmas tree, then out came the machine again. I love having it in there, and since hubby wants the company, he doesn't say a word.
Plus, he is much more interested in my quilting, now that he sees the work involved. You should try it.
I did it as an experiment and going to keep it that way.:thumbup:

Over our 46 years of marriage, I've used the dining room table to sew so I could keep the family company while working. The kids enjoyed sitting and watching and Don was very tolerant but I did have to keep the area looking tidy while in the process. It is a nice to work near hubby and/or family.
