Smiling, It seems that your daughters coming home is a wonderful time for you as well. The time you have spent sewing/quilting, should be able to continue as well. You will have dinner together and if you sew for just an hour, there is time after as well. She may find she might enjoy that time to read or watch a program herself. I would not fret over the hour you take to yourself as your life has been filled with a new avenue. Enjoy her and your alone time too.
