I have it too!! I think about quilting all day. I want to go home and sew. I so wish I didn't HAVE to work but unless a knight comes along and wisks me off to his castle with a huge sewing room and electricity...
Ok, back from fantasy land. :lol:

I agree, that pesky work does cut into my quilting time. Along with that pesky family that insists on eating dinner every day. Imagine the nerve!:) But on the up side, only 5 more work days until Christmas break! I intend to quilt every day and no one better bother me.

I used to have that problem, but since I no longer have or can afford a car, I cannot even look for work. So I stay home and quilt, watch television, and play on the computer. I like this life much better.

I wish I could learn to say "No!" to these requests.

I am retired, work part time, and volunteer at church where I hand quilt 2 days a week! It feels like the best of both worlds most of the time. And it keeps me out of the stores where I would see more fabric that I would lust over, and I have plenty if I just would stay home and sew with it!

Have to tell on myself. We have ReUseIt here, like freecycle, and someone advertised some bags of fabric scraps. I went out to a Universtiy theatre and got 2 garbage bags of costuming fabric scraps. I haven't sorted them all yet, but I am so tickled with what is in the bags. Some regular cottons, but so much textured fabric that looks like clothing for The Green Man of mythology! And maybe Robin Hood! Earthy colors. I will have to sort further and post a picture. This kind of stuff keeps me from sewing. :oops:

I am a stay at home mom with two kids at home - homeschool them - I volunteer with Angel Food Ministry at church - nothing else. I do keep busy but recently read some very wise thoughts- Planning to Bless - it's about planning my day so I can make sure I bless someone throughout my day if/when the opportunity presents itself - or planning ahead to do so. I have found that if I plan at least one 30 minute period a day to sew in some way, I end up having more time to sew later. Organization, I HOPE, is my way to getting more time to quilt in my days home.
