I quilt for hours a day when I am working on a project for no particular reason..lIt seems that now that I have 3 more items to make for Christmas i am doing NOTHING!! I have severe COPD, and spend a lot of time with doctors, so in all actuality my sewing time can be limited by that and how I feel. Although one time when I was in the hospital, I hand quilted an entire twin quilt!! I prefer the days that I quilt for at least 4 hours.....I will be moving right after Christmas, so I will be preparing hand work to do until my new sewing area is set up....Since I hand quilt everything I have plent I can prep!!
