I only started quilting about a year and a half ago, and in that time I've made 11 quilts. Eight of them are bed sized. I retired about five years ago, but when I was working, there was no way I could have done that. When I was in graduate school (full time) I was raising two kids, putting in 16 hours a week at my internship, working about three shifts a week at the hospital, volunteering at my kids' schools, and volunteering for five different social service agencies. Looking back on it, I'm not sure how I maintained such an insane schedule. That's why I retired early!
