Even with the luxury of a sewing room, I don't sew everyday. I could spend an hour or 2 every evening, but I get on this darn computer. LOL

I go in spurts.

3 to 4 hours a day. Why do all these other people need so much sleep? They sleep, I quilt. There'd be more time to quilt if they didn't need food and clean clothes.

Since I do it for a living, I pretty much sew all day long with breaks for canning, pulling weeds, picking berries and walking the dogs. Oh! and reading this forum.

I work part-time, babysit my DGD two days a week and try to help my mom. So there are weeks when I get no sewing machine time, but I make sure to visit the QB every day! (LOL)

I sew in between everything else I do. I decided long ago just a few minutes here and there can really add up.....but my real joy is when I can set aside a few hours at a time. It takes me to another place...

I spend a lot of time ddreaming...and surfing the net looking for patterns and chatting on the boards but when its time to sew I can go for days non stop...I need that creative flow to strike.
