    My perfect sewing day Humm All my seams meet in perfect harmony. All my points are just where they are supposed to be. I have just the right material in my stash for the whole quilt.When I work at a pattern my eyes don't turn the pieces around even after double checking 5 or six times.I truly finish a quilt it in a day. All meals are provided. No interruptions ahhh

    I get my perfect sewing days on Saturdays in the fall as DH is glued to college football all day long. He's downstairs, I'm up - so it doesn't even bother me when he gets carried away yelling at the tv (um, I mean coaching the team).

    Oh golly! How you all add to my list. Wake up rested.
    No pain.
    Coffee made.
    Nowhere to go no chores to do.
    Laura can come if she wants (sister) but may not hog the sewing machine.
    Pieces fit together. Quilt goes together in one day.

    Thanks everyone for all your ideas that I copied.

    Here it is 4:30 in the afternoon and I have been hand quilting all day in peace and quiet..Made coffee and breakfast, and other than that been working away..Of course it seems thw quilt gets bigger as the day goes on, but I am sure the end is in sight somewhere!! Have other projects to get to, but going to try to finish this quilt first!! Well, back to quilting I go..the kids are making dinner so I can continue uninterrupted!! Hoping your day is as productive

    I just had a couple of perfect sewing days. I took my sewing machine with me to the beach. I got up early - had coffee and a small breakfast. Then to the beach for a few hours of reading. Then time to sew. I would sew and watch tv until I was sleepy. Best vacation ever! Wish I could have stayed 2 weeks. My dh could only stay 3 days, then it was just me myself and I. What a good time I had.

    A perfect sewing day for me, starting early with my coffee and staying in my jammies til the mood hits me to get dressed. If it does. No laundry, no cooking, no nothing, maybe a nap to refresh my energy. House to myself, unless my quilter friend comes by. Always happy about that. Staying up real late playing in my sroom and then doing it all over again the next day! Might even have a few minutes to pick up, clean up and sort thru some things, find some things that I couldn't before. Projects being completed by the piles (dreaming there for sure).

    so what is your perfect day? How often do you have it?
    a day my back didn't start aching within a couple hours. Will never happen. Well, not as long as I don't find a stash of magic pain pills.
