I can think of two ideas for you. First, go immediately to your sewing room when you get home and decompress there for 30 minutes, then go see hubby. You'll have to get his buy-in; maybe you can trade something. Second, the next time a charity or church event needs something, you are already engaged, sorry! You don't have to do everything they want you to do; skip some of it. Or, tell them you can't do whatever the new thing is because you are making a raffle quilt for them and it will take hundreds of hours. Then you can quilt guilt free. Of course, they will be expecting the quilt. Make sure it's a pattern and fabric you like and for heaven's sake, don't let them impose a deadline. Quilting is no fun with a deadline.
