My mom and grandmother are probably turning over in their graves because I quilt & sew on Sunday. As a kid I was not even allowed to cut out paper dolls on Sunday.

I do not normally quilt on Sunday. I believe that Sunday is a day reserved for family and church.

That said if I worked full time outside of the house, I might sew some. But I would try to find time during the rest of the week.

lol

My mother-in law told me the same thing over 21 years ago.

i take the entire weekend off unless i must finish a commission in time.

my quilting is my employment and i work 30 hours a week across 5 days.

saturday and sunday is the time i spend with my family

When I was in the working world, Sunday was MY day to sew, and quilt.

if I feel in the mood

My grandmother used to tell me that HER mother caught her, hubby and friends playing cards on a Sunday and gave them all "heck". I didn't know my great grandmother but I DO know that my grandmother would sew on a Sunday.

Now my FIL used to preach to us that Sunday was the day of rest and you should not do anything on Sunday but relax, read the Sunday paper and vist family. Hmmmmmmmm...but I sure know 2 people that went out for dinner after church almost every Sunday. lol They didn't seem to have a problem with the restaurant being open and people working to cook and serve food to them. So...I called him a hypocrite.

We have the same mother-in-law, stitchesbyLA.

This strikes me as going back to the Abrahamic religions' prohibition of working on the Sabbath.

If that is so, then isn't this a question for your theological authority? Because, really, what I do as a Buddhist may not be appropriate at all for someone of an Abrahamic faith.
