    Never enough!!!! Try to do at least a few minutes every day and some days alot more. It is hard with a full time job and as I have gotten older the energy level is not there when I get home. But if I make my self walk in my sewing room all is well with the world and before long I basking in fun.

    Same as you PS Stitcher - if I get to go upstairs and pilfer through my stash, look through a pattern book or 2 and wind some bobbins, I'm happy. Normally, I am just a weekend quilter and I envy those who can finish a quilt in just a couple of days.

    Not enough. I keep telling DH that he should get a second job, hire me a nanny and a housekeeper, and for me to go on a sabbatical for a year so I can fully explore my sewing talents....

    As a working Mother I'm thrilled if I can get an hour or two of project time in the evening. It's actually gotten harder to do as the boys have gotten older because they don't go to bed at 7pm anymore! I miss those days. I could get all my "other stuff" done by 8pm and sew until 10pm. Now, I'm lucky if I get into MomCave before 9pm!

    When I worked (I am retired now) I spent at least 15 min every day - sometimes 2 or 3 15 min increments. Now that I am retired I quilt anywhere from 4-8

    For me it depends on the weather (sometimes, not always though)
    On a nice day I love working outside . But I get cranky if I don't sew something each day. I always have a hand quilting project for times that I just want to chill out.
    I use my machines almost every single day, sometimes all day, sometimes just a bit :D
    It's all good!!
