Because:
1. If you don't have a job there is not enough money to quilt. Sorry to say, we have an expensive hobby.
2. If you stay home, other things occupy your mind (like finding a job) and you still don't sew.
3. If you don't need to work, there are many other things to play with too, that not enough time is left for quilting.
3. If you are retired your children want you to babysit.
I was very productive when I was working. Had a routine. I was able to care for my family, my house and my quilting. I was selling tons of them. I lost my job and the next thing was being so preoccupied finding a job that set aside very little time for sewing. At this moment selling quilts was of so little help money wise that most of my time was occupied worrying. I still don't have a job but went back to school and I might as well close off the machine while school is in session, since I know there will be no sewing for me. Enjoy the fact that you have a job and manage your time. Quilting taste better to me when your whole world in arranged so you can do it all.
