I started quilting about 2 years ago (shortly after I retired). Most weeks I was cutting and sewing 5 hours a day, 3-4 days a week. Then in July, 2015, "life got in the way" (Mother fell, broke her neck) and I was only able to finish 1 baby quilt. There just hasn't been a span of time to sit and sew so I've just recently started doing some hand embroidery on a panel (a couple hours a night) trying to get my motivation to quilt back. I do miss it.
I suggest planning ahead your week of "must dos" and find at least 1 or 2 days for sewing at least 3 hrs each day. I know some people can sit down and sew for 30 minutes ... that's just not me. I need several hours to feel like I've accomplished something. Ha.
