    I'm retired. 6-8 hours /day about 5 days /week. Would be more except I spend to much time here.

    Since I retired, I usually go out to my quilt room around 8-9 AM until noon. And almost every day. Ain't it grand to be retired? You bet!

    I agree with those that said "Not enough". My quilting room is in my basement and I'm down there almost every day. Some days from right after breakfast, a break for lunch and before I know it it's dinner time. I would probably be down there in the evening but I feel I need to be around the pup doggie and the hubby a little bit. I have so many projects going that I work a little on each and that way I don't get bored. Works for me!

    When I am in the mood I will sit and sew for hours. Then I might not touch my sewing area for a few days.

    As someone else said, "Not nearly enough". I'm here on the board more than I should be! lol

    Depends on whether I'm working on a project with a time frame. Also depends on what else is going on in my life. I tend to go in spurts. I like to get in the habit of sewing at least 5-10-15 minutes each day.

    I try to sew a little each day. sometimes all I do is sort thru fabric for a new project.
    I too work full time and have a family. This is my time for me and I make time for me.

    Whenever the urge strikes:-)
    Always have something in the works and work on it when so inspired. If I force myself to stick to a schedule and not in the mood I make too many mistakes:-)
