Because quilting is the activity I enjoy most, I sew every spare minute. I don't have as much free time during the holidays; but I make every minute count. If I am cooking and have 10 minutes before I need to do something else and it is safe to leave unattended, I take a timer with me to the sewing room. It is amazing what I accomplish in small segments of time. Also, I am happier doing other things because I have had some time to sew.
