Until I moved back to the States earlier this year, I honestly spent at least 3 hours or more every evening after work, and on Sat-about 6 hours-Sunday, from the time I got up till I went to bed! I was addicted to such an extent that I even woke up during the night sometimes thinking of my current quilt in progress and would get up sometimes and work another 2 or 3 hours! I admit, stresses from work drove me to it!!LOL Now, I'm not working and only seem to find 3 or 4 hours a week!! I spend more time on this $#@! computer than quilting!! But totally enjoy reading what everyone has to say and learn allot-and sometimes even chime in my two cents worth! LOL
