I sew by myself most of the time and sometimes have trouble getting started. But, in the summer I am able to get away from work about 3 separate extra long weekends when I go to my Mom's summer home. We sew from 7 am to 5 pm with a break for lunch. It is great fun and I get a lot done plus the bonus of spending time with my dear mom. She is 84 and still manages to teach me something new every time. In fact, I am there now! We have been sewing quilts since last thursday morning. I have to go home tomorrow and then back to work....
