Work part time at 'regular' job, work my own longarm quilting service company, and make time to quilt inbetween.
Even though I longarm quilt for part of my living, I still need that time to quilt for myself. I find if I go three days without some aspect of quilting I get feeling down. It's a type of therapy for me - keeps me sane!
I tend to make smaller wall hangings and other items as they go quicker and are 'finished' with a sense of accomplishment. But have several larger quilts I want to make this year.
I also have a DH who helps with the household chores, and all the kids are grown and live on their own.
