I quilt as much time as my schedule permits. Sometimes is 30 minutes or less (just enough time to pet my fabric). Other times, all day.

A few days a week I can quilt for about 3 hours and on other days I cannot quilt at all. It just depends on my work schedule during the day. In the afternoons I'm with my kiddos when they get home from school but once they are down for the night I try and get in some more quilting time.

As long as I can stand the back spasms...........sometimes 3 - 4 hours, sometimes only 1 hour or so. But sometimes, if I'm fortunate, I can go up to 7 hours!

Unless I have appointments my time is my own. Some days I could be in my sewing room for hours on end then other days I may not go out there at all. It's my happy place but I don't want to feel obliged to be there everyday. I sew and quilt for my pleasure and don't want it to seem like a job. As I'm lucky enough to have an embroidery machine I will usually have two machines on the go.

I have been quilting for at least 40 years. I machine make at least 20 Linus quilts a month. I handquilt with a group of ladies at the local Senior center on monday mornings, I belong to a small Bee that meets twice a month for a couple of hours and then does lunch. I belong to two guilds but have not been very actve in either the last year or so. Due to a rare autoimmune disease I contracted almost 13 year ago I haven't worked outside of my home since. I usually have some kind of handquilting project to work on every evening while watching TV with my hubby. If I am not doing some sewing or quilt related project I am reading. Aside from meal prep and very simple housework I don't do much else. I have a woman who does the more strenous housework that I can no longer physically do. I do some charity quilting like the pillowcase dresses. My grandchildren are all in their teens or older and don't have time for us old folks.

I quilt/sew in some form everyday. Have never timed myself but my husband thinks it is too much but what does know? Every minute I have extra is QUILTING/SEWING.

I won't be retiring for several years, so quilting for now is part-time, unfortunately. But I manage to get some quilting time in most every weekend, and when I'm not working on a project, most evenings. Right not, the 'project' is the bathroom renovation completion and finishing the house renovation....we have family coming from overseas for Christmas (can't wait!) and its forced us to finish everything, thank heaven. But I'll have a completely updated house when I retire, so that's planning ahead. I also have a wonderful husband who jumps right in with cooking, cleaning and laundry when I'm working on something, too, including quilting. What a blessing!
