My kids have been gone for over 23 years, I didn't sew for a long stretch, but got back into it several years ago and helped with Grands. Now they are older and I try to get a quilt made once a month. Last year we had wooden floors put in I think I only made 6 or 8, I had to spend time emptying out rooms and putting stuff back. I have a small house and 4 cats, two poodles and a bird to take care of. I also work 10 hours a day. I quilt sometimes in the evenings for a couple of hours and usually always weekends while I do laundry and housework. My goal is to sew as many quilts as I possibly can. I plan to retire this summer and then I will get even more made. I quilt them myself too.
