What time do you like to quilt?
Now that I'm working again, I find myself feeling too tired in the evening to sew.
We're off tomorrow for Election Day (yay!) .... thinking I'll get up @ my normal working-wake-up time & I'll sew!
All of my kids are now voting age (one left @ home). We're going out to eat for breakfast, and then will go and vote.
Do you have a time that you enjoy sewing the most? Or just whenever?
How many hours a day or week do you typically sew?

I am a seamstress for a bridal shop so I sew at work all day. I like to hand quilt in the evenings if I am not too tired. I sew on weekends the things that I want to sew for me. Guess you could say I am always sewing something.

Lately, I've been working on my challenge piece for our longarm group... that I need to have mostly finished by November 18th... so, once I get home (1 hour or more commute), have dinner with hubby, and feed the animals (horses, chickens, dogs), I have been quilting a little bit each evening. Some nights, I finish a whole block, some nights it's just a couple of squares within a block. And I find that it does relax me from my crazy drive home.
Weekends, if we're not visiting the grandbabies, or doing community outreach with our church, I sometimes get to spend the better part of Saturdays quilting... could be piecing, could be quilting on the LA, could be putting the binding on, but most weekends I do manage a good chunk of time in the sewing room.
It is amazing how a little bit here and there adds up so quickly. And for my challenge quilt, I think the quality of my work is improved by NOT staying constantly at the longarm.
And your question of "how many hours?" Weekdays, I'm managing to do maybe one hour in the evening. Weekends, it might only be 3-4 hours, or it might be 8-10 hours both Saturday and Sunday - it just depends on what else is going on.
But at a minimum, I spend 4 hours a week in my sewing room, even when we have a lot going on. It's what keeps me sane.
