First thing do not listen to any body may let u down. Some men think there items, work, books is the perfect and more useful ....
If u have private place to keep your machine ,fabrics, notions, keep it busy with your thing and that makes your hand and mind think about them and easy to reach.
If u busy at work, husband, child with collecting from school, homework, chores that make spare time very little for hobbies .
But after and before u want to do what u LOVE to do 4 YOUR SELF
so make small projects and pick easy ones for example squares (big not small one) in the end it is quilt and it will finish quickly and nice.
Time will change .
Good luck
