Being leagally disabled because of a rare autoimmune disease I have had to really slow down. I am also a Domestic Goddess with only a husband at home. If I add up all the time I spend in a week on sewing or quilting it averages out to maybe 2.5 hours a day seven days a week. That includes days when I sew or quilt for 5 or 6 hours and those when I spend ten minutes. Being able to leave my sewing room set up intact enables me to steal 10, 20, or 30 minutes here and there between other things. It also gives me an excuse to sit down and still be productive when my health problems are slowing me down. I get a lot of handwork done at night watching TV. For example I started quilting a 36" x 36" wallquilt for my guilds Bingo this past sunday. I am at least a third of the way finished the handquilting. I expect to have it finished by the end of this week. I need to turn it in to the Bingo committee wednesday a week.
