I work three twelve hour shift per week. That leaves four days a week I have free except for the usual chores, housework and laundry. I am not a speedy quilter. I am new to quilting and so I find that I have plenty of time during the week to sew. Also, my husband is a workaholic and is on call twentyfour hours per day seven days per week as a fire chief so that also frees up some time for me.
