anywhere from 4 to 8-9 hrs a day. I am retired, don't like housework, don't go too much, so I quilt! I read in the evening and 2 days a week I car for my 2 yr old great grandson but he still takes 3 or 4 hrs naps a day because he has to get up so early. going to go get off the Board now and go sew. Happy quilting!
