Twisted Quilter

Yep, right now I'm on a break. I ran out of fabric a while back and can't seem to get into it right now. Maybe after the holidays.

My love was gardening, didn't think anything could out do
my love of flowers, my name was olgaflowers,
but now I found a new LOVE ! so I change my name to
"olga,quilts" and that's all she wrote :)

I can sew for quite a while but do get tired of it, just as with anything I do for too long. Have different projects going, have already started to receive seed catalogues. Will be in the greenhouse getting ready by end of February.

Off course. So far so good. If that time comes I will take a break and then decide. Quilting is my hobby. I must enjoy it.

Never! But I wouldn't want to do it for hire.

I retired in 2003 and went back to work in 2007. Quilting is great but not as a full time hobby. I have quilted for over 30 years and couldn't wait to be able to quilt all the time, but it got pretty tiresome sewing everyday. So now I work 12 days a month and sew some of the remainder. Plus it gets me out with the public. I definitely don't like being home all the time. I always say be careful what you wish for. LOL!

I agree with leatheflea. I like sewing as a hobby not a full time job.
I love quilting but like the free style of quilting what 'I' want to, when I want to. Every day is not a cutting day but might be a perfect stitching day.
I feel a little suffocated when someone else's goal or plans step in the path of my choosing when 'I' want to quilt 'what'. My plans have been interrupted often in 2011. I am using that as an opportunity to grow, venture out and work with others. (But mannnn,, I really do not like pulling my quilt off the machine to work on other things. I will get over it.) :)

yes I did. Dropped out for ten years...not a stitch. Then got back into it.

I once thought I would never get tired of it and then all of a sudden one day I woke up and just didn't feel like quilting. I didn't quilt for a year. I just quit. Mid-project. I knitted, I crocheted, I painted, I played Farmville (LOL), and I didn't touch my sewing machines.

Then one day out of the blue I felt like quilting again and started up right where I left off. Still going, but who knows if or when it will hit me again that I don't feel like doing it.

I don't think I would get tired of quilting. I do get tired of a certain quilt sometimes and work on something else.

I hope to retire and do it full time someday.
