    I was wondering how much time per day do you spend on quilting? I work fulltime but get off early afternoon so I've got time every afternoon but sometime I fee quilty always up in my sewing room. Just curious.

    Not nearly enough...I might get to sew a little on the weekend, but usually not during the week.

    I quilt in fits and starts. Sometimes I am very motivated and sometimes I'm not. I always have a project "going" though.

    I have always had my sewing machine available to use anytime but since I have renewed my hobby of quilting I seem to do something related to quilting every day - cutting, piecing, sewing or actual hand quilting. Not to forget my logging in on Quilt Paradise!!!!!! Last Wed was cold and rainy so I spent all day doing the March 15 Star BOM - not guilty at all - a very happy senior!

    It depends on my work schedule and when I need to keep the grandsons for daughter’s night class. Sometimes all day, sometimes nothing for a week.

    I do an hour or so on my days off, more on the shared day with my husband, he can watch baby, otherwise i have to wait for her to take a nap to sew, she is too busy body, doesn't sit still

    On weekends I spend more time. I try to spend time at night during the week even if it is only for 30 minutes or less.
