I also work fulltime. I work 40 hours a week in a very busy department store and I also clean houses on the side. I clean for 4 people a month. It gives me my sewing money so I don't feel guilty about buying fabric. I have wondered the same thing. I see so many beutiful quilts and it seems like they are posting new ones every week. Our kids are grown and gone so it is just hubby and me. I do have my own sewing room...nothing fancy but it is mine. I can leave things out and no one cares. I will usually try and sew before husband gets home or if he is at band practice. Just remember one thing, the important thing is to have fun with your sewing. We are not in any kind of race to get things done. It is my sanctuary to go in "my room" and regroup from my days events.
