When you throw something in the oven grab a few minutes. You may want to add a timer to your sewing room, just in case you get too involved. You deserve to have time for yourself and your quilting. You need not give up something you love to do. Yes, I know that 5-10 minutes doesn't sound like much and the project could last forever...but at least it will get you some you time and someday a new quilt to love.
Even though retired, it seems that other things get in the way, so when I want to quilt, I say ok, I am going to sew for 15, min up to an hour, you can get a lot done if you leave the stuff set up and can just sit down to sew. It does mean however, that your workspace has to be kept tidy or it won't work as you will spend all your time looking for stuff!
