Honestly, I don't think she meant anything by it. I work outside the home as a teacher, tutor after that, also write full time (trying to break into mainstream fiction) and translate, have a 2 year old and a DH that doesn't do tons around the house. Sometimes I *don't* have time to quilt. I try to, even if it's for 10 minutes a night, but there are days I just don't get the chance to do anything.
Maybe that's all she meant. I don't know, wasn't there to hear it being said.
Personally though, if I loved something, I'd make time to do it. Keep doing what you're doing as long as you're happy that's all that matters.
