So I actually pay someone to come in and clean my house a couple hours a week as I can't keep up on everything myself.

It's just the two of us now, but I do spend almost every evening with quilting, sewing, piecing. I spend about 2-3 hours every evening during the week, and sometimes on weekends. We have a lot of land to take care of, BUT now that gardening is behind us, cleaning up the gardens takes a lot of time during the day. And I still cannot find as much time quilting as I'd like to. Soon, with snow on the ground, I will have more free time! Ohh...to find the days when I could hire someone to come in and clean for us..this would be a dream come true! I do know that I have more pride in the finished product, due to the time it takes to complete just one more!

I am retired on DI. While I feel a lot better these days I am eleven years older than when I first got sick. Most of my quilting these days is Linus quilts and I make about 20 a month. That includes some that are fleece that I just crochet a decorative border on. Recently I got into making these little "pillowcase" dresses for chairity. My husband is still working so after I fix him breakfast and pack him a lunch the day is mine for at least 9 hours. I handquilt with a group of ladies at the local Senior Center for a couple of hours on Mondays. I belong to two guilds that take up at least 6 hours a month and a small Bee that takes up another 4 hours or so a month. I do grocery shop,do laundry and cook supper for 5 days a week. I have a woman who does my heavy cleaning every three weeks. With just the two of us now our cat is the one who makes the most mess. Most of the handquilting I do these days is small carry around projects that I can take to the BEE ect. I still collect fabric, thread, gadgets and machine embroidery designs. I will proably make a few things for Christmas mostly for my friends as my children and grandchildren are like most people and don't have a clue. After 40+ years of quilting there is no hurry. Inbetween I manage to read at least 4 novels a week and I love TV. At least I can watch TV and handquilt or crochet at the same time.
