I'm pretty slow myself. But I'm retired so I can sew when I want and for as long as the eyes hold out :) I also read a lot and keep my grandson as often as his folks will let him come (usually 7-10 days out of each month). I too am amazed at the quilts that get done by our friends here on the board. There is some amazing talent out there! Gives me something to aspire to. :) :)
