Thank you Momto5 and also susie-susie-susie. These are great answers.
Susie, I too am a retired nurse. I find such joy in quilting and am surprised that I didn't know I had this creative side and could be enjoying such a solitary passtime. I am being careful not to spoil it by starting this business and allowing it to consume my life. The above answers give me good ideas about controlling what I agree to do.
