It depends on my mood. Sometimes I can go 2 or 3 days and not sew at all, then when the inspiration hits me I can sew all day for a week or more. Mind you it does help being retired now as my time is my own, at long last. Another thing I've noticed is that sewing is one of the best diets for me, because when I get lost in what I'm doing lunch time comes and goes without my even noticing!! I'm sure I've lost weight since I started quilting.
