I try to sew abit each day. I usually sew for about 30 - 45 minutes in the morning before work. I save the evening for cutting out fabric. I sew for about 6-7 hours almost every Sunday.

Yes, I agree. It depends on my mood and what else needs to be done around the house. I also work full time so that limits my sewing time as well. Right now I am working on some hand work. I am hand quilting a throw. So when I do get to be in my sewing room it is usually for a couple hours.

When I'm not looking at all the stuff to see, hear and learn on this board, I'm quilting. So literally, I am doing something about quilting from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. And there still isn't enough time for it all.

Depends on what other things I have to do. Right now I am working on come crochet projects I want to get done for Christmas. So I am not spending as much time as I would like. But it is on my mind always.

It depends on my mood. Some days none at all, and others a couple of hours up to 12+/day.

I quilt before I go to work and sew at night. On the weekends I do both.

I try to sew as often as I can. Some days that is ALL day others jsut a short time. I also have a long arm in our shop, wish it were in the house, I'd quilt more often, but I usually have something of mine or a friends to quilt, so I could sew every day. I'm like some of you, my health stops me at times, but if I'm upright and not having too much trouble breathing that day, I'm sewing!!!! It's my passion, I've got so many projects going and then see something new I want to try. I know you all know what I mean. I keep my projects in pizza boxes, I have got one emptied this year and have a couple months left this year. Maybe I'll get another finished. :0)
So may quilts, so little time...............

I am retired, so I can sew when I wish. I had a few days where I was wondering if I should rip out rows and start again, since a few of my blocks were off only a bit. After encouragement from you gals, I decided to leave it alone and I am back to it again. Today, I press and pin.
I can sew most anytime I wish, because I have a DH, who can fend for himself.
Evenings are spent together watching tv
