Whenever the spirit moves me..... BUT I prefer the evening hours when all the rest of the world is sleeping & I have hubby settled in after his snack time and he is tucked in. I love the peace & quite when I am working on any project... but more so when quilting. I really like quilting on snowy days..... right now "our first snow is flying"........so after I shovel the walks, the wheelchair ramp & the driveway and finish up the morning chores I may be able to rest a bit with the needle & fab. It settles my nerves!!!

I do like to get my housework done and then go to the sewing room, but of course that doesn't always happen :D But I sew during the day. I do all my cutting, piecing and quilting during the day. Some how crocheting seems to fit in the evening while watching a movie to me. I think it is because I feel like I have to pay more attention to the quilting and crocheting I feel like I can just move along while watching the movie.

Mostly when I handquilted, I only had time to do it in the evenings, but I did love it when I could do it in the early morning, and enjoy my coffee, and listen to the birds singing...it was so relaxing that way.

I do 99% hand quilting and do it when ever I have a free moment. I always have a project at hand & I also feel guilty but when I think about it I put in my time and now I am retired and if I want to sit and hand quilt then I do and sometimes the guilt goes away and some times it doesn't.
