you need to do what makes you happy... Quilting is an outlet for me. Sometimes I enjoy the quietness in my sewing room and other times I enjoy classes or sew a longs with friendly faces at our LQS. I own two retail businesses and could work 24 hrs 7 days a week but I allow myself the time to quilt and exercise!
I make quilts and projects for family and friends but I also enjoy doing charity projects... although I am limited on how much I can sew, it makes me feel good to be able to donate my time and talent.
