Usually 2 - 3 hours per day,more if I really get caught up in a project. I don't quilt but love to sew purses, make some clothing and in general putter around in my room. I'm trying to get back to machine embroidery so that is going to take up some time. There's only DH and I and if I don't cook he's capable of finding the fridge.

I'm retired so I usually spend about 3 hours a day quilting. Every once in a while I take a day off.

I don't spend enough time sewing, but I do spend a tremendous amount of time thinking about sewing.

I belong to two quilt guilds and two quilt groups, those are all day with lunch. I go to sew days three times a month, all day with lunch. I volunteer to teach a community quilt class one day a month. When I'm home I have all afternoon to sew. I do my housework/errands in the morning and then sew the rest of the day. I make a light dinner for DH and myself and then usually sew or read or maybe watch a tv show until I get sleepy. DH spends the evenings doing his favorite past time, woodworking in his shop or reading in his chair with a sport game on. It's so nice to have all the kids grown and gone. LOL

Whenever I want and as long as I want. Have been quilting since about 1976. The older I got the more time I had for my passion. Raised 4 children, and live alone now. If I go 2 days without going in my sewing room, I have withdrawals!! I started a log cabin quilt Dec. 19th and finished piecing the top Jan. 2nd it is 94x112. I belong to 3 quilting groups also.
Enjoying my retirement!!

Well, if I am really lucky, I get to sew about 10 hours per week. Not at all in the summer months due to work though. Too many ufo's so it's not enough time for sure.

After working 30+ years full time, I spend many many hours in my quilt/sewing room now that I am retired. Every day, Monday thru Sunday. I don't watch much tv, and my sewing is so relaxing to me.

I work full time and I have to split my time off between three other hobbies. I probably sew about 8 hours a week when I have projects in the works, most of that is on the weekend. Sometimes I'm too tired to concentrate after work during the week, so I wait until I'm rested on the weekend to get the machine started.

Some days 0 hours, and some an hour or two. I am still working full time as a nurse, taking care of our 2 yr old grandson one day a week. I really need to come up with an idea how to change this as I miss my sewing/quilting time!!
