Sounds like my past 2 weeks, until the wake-up time. I am retired. At this time there are 2 quilts that won't be finished. I have them pieced though. -- And my husband wanted to invite 10 more for Christmas dinner.(already expecting10) I asked if he is cooking. I do it all, even clean-up. So far the only thing I have done for dinner is put the turkey in the frig to thaw.

I got the "look" the other day when I surfaced after 7 hours straight sewing and then again when I crawled into bed covered in thread...I did start in July and only just finished...good luck and hang in there!

My dh said almost the same thing to me the other day. I have a large quilt that I am hand quilting. Dh told me "You are not going into to kill yourself to get this done" I also have next week off so I can get some things done .

Thanks everyone. I've enjoyed each of your comments. He does care, I know this. He just usually isn't the type to issue "orders". I have been having some health problems for the past 6 months, which I am sure is what is motivating him to say something. It will be ok though. The 2 quilts I was working on are finished and on their way to North Carolina. Now all I have left to sew are fleece scarves (3)& ponchos (2). And...I don't have to have them done before Christmas. We won't be seeing the recipients until Sunday evening & on into next week. Plenty of time to sew them up, without any all night marathons.

Perhaps it doesnt have as much to do with hours spent sewing, as it does with other things you do. Maybe sew from 5 PM when you get home and stop at 10 pm and go to bed... live on a sandwich and let him fend for some laundry and sandwiches himself LOL

Soooo I wait until he is home and I sit next to him and fold HIS clothes while we watch TV together..
