I start every day with the best intentions to spend more time in my sewing room but there always seems to be something that has to be done. If I spend a couple of hour in the late afternoon out there I don't feel guilty. I spent a fair amount of money building my sewing room so feel I should get out there and use it. Just my opinion not DH's.

Like so many of you, I sew or quilt when the mood strikes. I enjoy making things: guilts, clothes, home dec and crochet for others and charity. But I don't feel obligated to do it. Retirement feels so wonderful and free because I don't have many outside obligations. I'm just glad I lived long enough to have some free time.

BTW, your avatar is fantastic. What is the pattern name?

Thank you! The pattern is called "Vertigo" and it can be found in the 101 paper piecing log cabin patterns book

I made a mug rug with it and eventually want to make a whole quilt.

He'll tell you nothing I do is work! I don't waste my time arguing with him. I just keep sewing and designing and ripping stuff out!
