I'm retired so have a lot of free time to sew when I want. I only make a couple of quilts a year & that's only if someone I know is getting married or if I need a baby gift for a shower. I do more researching on the web for patterns, techniques, tutorials, etc. than I do actually sewing. If it weren't for our fixed income I would do more charity sewing. I have made a few Quilts for Kids as they will send you supplies to make the quilts for only $6 for 1 kit & $7 for 2 kits. All I have to supply is the batting, thread & time & then mail back to them. These kits are good fillers when I'm lacking something to sew.
