I retired about 3 years ago - thought I'd have all the time in the world to sew. I find myself quilting in spurts - for days I'll be sewing away and then for days I won't go in the sewing room. My husband and I frequently ask ourselves how we ever found time to work! Right now I'm doing a lot of knitting, especially in the evenings. But, I also have parts of two quilts on the design wall with 2 more in my brain ready to start. Then there's the two I'm actually quilting right now. I agree with Sylviak - I love being retired!
