I thought being retired would afford me more time, but I find I'm just as busy during my waking hours as I was before. I now have to remind myself that it's OKAY to put other stuff off until later and quilting should be higher on my list. I guess I sometimes feel guilty about the unwashed load of laundry or the unmade bed, but I usually quickly get over that guilt!! I find I'm putting in at least one to four hours a day in my recently re-vamped quilting room.
