I sometimes can spend 4-6 hours a day "quilting" - which involves picking out fabrics for a project, preparing that fabric, cutting, sewing, piecing, quilting, etc. There are other days when I can only sew/quilt for an hour or two, depending upon my back and whether or not my carpal tunnel decides to make my life painful. Although I have been known to work on quilt projects for 15-30 minutes before work, another 30-60 hrs. after work and anywhere in between - it just all depends on whether or not I have a deadline to meet. Now that we're both retired, I had hoped to be able to spend more time quilting, however, that hasn't really happened; especially since my DH can no longer drive, plus I don't get up as early as I used to, so my time is limited on some days.
