I'm the same way. I have a difficult time hand quilting unless I have use of the daylight. Lamp just doesn't cut it.

my quilting is very seasonal... I don't have any time in the summer months to quilt and just when I think I can get into a routine in the fall since I own my own retail business) December becomes impossible as a retailer in the busy Christmas shopping season. So I will get my Janome out in January and work on projects for 2013.

Sometimes I am just to pooped after work to do much of anything. I go downstairs and look longingly at my sewing room and wish I could stay in that room all the sunny day. Some times it's all I do all day, other times, nothing, depends on the day and my mood.

You mean there are other things that have to be done during the day???
Reality is that I spend a lot of time after work quilting - I seem to always have a quilt on the frame. Sewing in the basement during the winter though is many times too cold.

For the past 3 months or so, I get in a minimum hour a day during the work week; I keep a project at work that I work on (I am a hand-quilter). I also have projects at home in various stages of cutting or piecing that I might get a couple hours through the week to invest in. And I keep a project with me (Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Cross is PERFECT) at all times for all those hours after work that I spend in parking lots waiting for the kids, doctor's offices, volleyball/basketball/play practices, etc. Then there is the occasional Sunday afternoon when I just tell the kids to pretend I was abducted by aliens and they're on their own!
Definately not as much as I'd like, but I'm grateful for what I get. That hour a day is great therapy.
