Well I live alone, I dont cook, not much to clean, make bed when I get out of it, do laundry while long arming (both are in basement), avoid grocery shopping till I have only condiments left, and have no yard
I can do about 1 quilt a week if I am not stopping to do other quick projects. I have a system. I cut and set up my pieces on sunday night. Then during the week after work, I get 1-2hrs to sew, this is where I piece everything. Usually have the top done by friday night. Then on sunday morning, I get the top and the laundry, head down to the basement and quilt the top while doing laundry. I am still using pantographs, so it takes no time whatsoever to quilt. Usually then prep the binding and hang on the door in sewing room (up on 2nd floor) and do it when I have a free moment.
Now with that being said, some patterns take more time, have one that took 3 wks to work on. Another is going to take at least 2 weekends to quilt. (once i pull out the bad stitching) .
Lately I have been practicing my feathers and free hand work on my long arm, so my tops are piling up
and havent been in the mood to bind, so have a bunch piling up there too.....lol, will need to get everything done before christmas
