I intended to quilt for others after I retired, but found it hard to do anything for myself when I did that, with my limited time. I also found it to be more pressure than I expected. So I quit quilting for friends. I haven't been able to quilt for myself, either, yet, but hope to soon. (Too busy as executor after my mom's death, selling her house, etc. Should be able to mostly finish up with that in the next month or so, and get back in my quilting groove.)
