    I'll do it. I used to quilt for 10 minutes daily and you are right,sometimes turned into a hour or more. So relaxing.

    Does reading the quiltingboard count? I should have been working on a quilt project but got sucked into all the discussions here. Both are fun!

    Well, I woefully failed! I haven't touched my machine in 3 weeks. But now that all the holiday's are over I'm going to try again. Besides that, I have more incentive to sew as I got my new Juki TL2010Q yesterday!!!

    Here's to quilting! {holding up coffee cup}

    Salute!!!
    Failure can only be called when the guy never gets back up to try again ...
    Good for you, getting back up and working on your goal again!
    Incentives to do good are not a bad thing <wave>

    So!
    How are we all doing?
    I am on Part 7 of the Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt - - Roll Roll, Cotton Boll ...
    only needed 30 squares for one part, and I produced 74 blocks (or was it 73?) at any rate - - a little over produced, but back on track <g> <wave>

    Gee, let's see......
    If I were to take your challenge, I would first need to get my machine from the bedroom and set up in the dining room - plug it up, put the large table on it, get my rolly cart with all my notions and bring it into the dining room from my closet. Set up the iron board and iron, move my dining room chairs out of the way since it usually use 3 sides of the table. Vaccum the floor since the dust bunnies and dog hair accumulate everywhere, get out my project......
    I would say that IF I were going to sew I would plan on doing it for most of the day. I couldn't get anything accomplished in a 15 minute time frame. Is anyone in the same boat as me????? LOL
