I try to sew at least one block a day or at least 30 minutes if thats all I can do...but otherwise I will take what I can get...being retired keeps me very busy...heheh...blessings

I'm disabled/retired from nursing so I sew everyday, all day. I do manage to get the house cleaned and laundry done which isn't hard since it's just me and my wonderful husband.

Right now I need to go and get some errands done but this will seriously cut into my sewing time.

Every day, all day! Sometimes I steal an hour or two from quilting to do life things, like eat, sleep, bathe, speak to other people, you know....life things!

I sew just about everyday. Some days for 15 mins, other days 4+ hours. I'm very lucky that my husband likes to cook, so that allows me more time in the sewing room.

Every day, just like my vitamins! I can't sleep if I don't create something every evening after work but on the other hand I can't sleep because I am so creative. My friends know that I will get up during the night, most nights, to work on something. I get my best ideas while attempting to sleep.

I try to sew something every day. Last weekend I used up my scraps of fleece making blankets for CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia). Today I am working on a fleece quilt/blanket for my grandson to take off to college. Tomorrow I am making sheer draperies for a client. And so it goes.....

I have to work on some thing every day. to me it is like breathing. I work on my EQ, or class notes and handouts, or cutting out and sewing quilts. It is a passion I have and do not mind at all.

I have several grand daughters but the one that spends the most time with me is 3 yrs old and you would think not old enough to turn loose in a sewing room. Well wrong....she spends alot of time with me in "our" sewing room and she has learned to respect what is Grandma's and is not for her to touch but then I have given her, her own 'fat Quarters" and pieces of fabric. I bought a used childs sewing machine at a yard sale for $10.00. My hubby took the needle apparatus out and she was so excited when she found her very own sewing machine in our sewing room! Macie really enjoys the time we spend sewing and we have even started a crazy quilt we are putting together using her scraps. We add to it every once in a while and she is so excited about it. It is now about 20 inches by 20 in. She took it home once and left it in the camper. A week or so later they were coming to visit and she told her Daddy she had to bring her quilt back so we could sew it. She was looking for it and had a melt down because she could not find it. Daddy just did not understand what he was supposed to be looking for and Macie got very upset with him because he didn't kniw what a "Kwacy Quill" was! lol He called me and asked me what the heck she was talking about. I described it and they found it in their camper and all was right again. Then they came to Grandma's. She does not take the quilt home any more until we finish it. I guess my point is you don't have to stop sewing when grand daughter visits. You may find including her in your sewing may start some wonderful memories for you both. When Macie gets tired of fussing with her fat quarters she curls up on the floor of my sewing room with a pillow and watch cartoons. Then I get more sewing done...:o)

I have sewn for 10+ hrs a day for several years.
when my youngest son was in 3rd grade( he is now almost 17)
for mothers day he made me a card and drew me sitting at my machines,table and all behind the open workroom door.
We had am embroidery business at the time!
At first it made me feel bad that this was the only way he saw me, but then realized (that with his autism) he felt secure in knowing where I was and I was a constant there!

I could if it were easier to drag myself away from the computer and the television. I need a decent size room so I can have them in the same place as my sewing things!

Daily if I can. Always before work. I never look at a clock to see if I have time to 'finish a seam', I just start sewing, and stop when I need to leave, leaving the fabric under the needle, then just start again when I can. I keep UFO's bundle and ready to pick up if we go camping. I keep handwork, yo-yos, etc. in zip-lock bags ready to go with me when we driving. I agree with everyone that said those 15 minutes add up.

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I can go 2 or 3 days and not sew at all, then when the inspiration hits me I can sew all day for a week or more. Mind you it does help being retired now as my time is my own, at long last. Another thing I've noticed is that sewing is one of the best diets for me, because when I get lost in what I'm doing lunch time comes and goes without my even noticing!! I'm sure I've lost weight since I started quilting.

I try to put in an hour a day. s Sometimes more on the weekends.

By any chance are your a Flybaby?

I try daily but don't always happen

I try to but I don't always make it.

Wish it could be every day but ends up 3 to 4 times a week for 1 to 3 hours. Thats why I cant get much done fast.

HA! My job is just getting in the way of my life. and then of course it is the DH and the home from college kids. It is like herding cats.... Would like to do more. I am lucky to get 1-2 hours in the summer but football season is better because kids are at college and hubby is parked in front of TV!

I don't sew everyday as I have 3 kids that seem to always be going in different directions. Monday nights are mine to sew with my friends at a local church, and then if I can steal time on Wednesday or Friday and most weekends. I'm looking forward to retirement........only 29 more years to go!!!!!

I may not sew every day ... but I do some type of craft everyday. I cross stitch and crochet as well so it maybe one of those. Does that count? :)

I try to sew at least five days a week after my children go to bed (8ish) but before my husband comes home from work(midnightish)! I don't get much done while the kids are awake and it gets in the way since I sew at the kitchen table. I have to pack everything up for meal times!

I do some hand work after work every day. Some days it might only be for 5-10 minutes. It is definitely a destressor after a busy shift. on my days off I do more.

My husband says I treat my sewing room like a work day... I sew almost every day for at least 4-5 hours... it is my sanity. I just can't seem to get enough playtime in... that is my call sign... PLAYTIME.... the way I live my life these days.... of course .... I love it when my grandson is here... he is the only thing that will stop me from quilting.

I have several projects going so I try to sew some every day ... it is very satisfying ...

I sew a lot. I am home most of the time with a very sick husband, and it's my hide out. My mental health room.

I try to do something quilt-related every day. Today it's nothing exciting, I'm sewing down the binding on a birthday gift quilt. Tomorrow I'll try and do the next step on my guild's mystery quilt.

I stitch almost every day. Sometimes for hours and sometimes for 5 minutes.

I don't - only n fits and starts, mostly fits at that! Maybe I should try - just 1/2 h/d I could do one little trinity pattern in flying goose block. In 46 1/2h I could have that much of the quilt done. Hmmm! You are a good influence!

When I am home, I try to sew most every day. Sometimes for an hour, sometimes as many as 6 hours, depending on my project at hand. I am retired, so I have the luxury of deciding how I spend my time. Most week-ends are busy with family and activities, so those are usually the days I take off.

I try and sew everyday , it does help I think if you have sewing room that way you can just shut the door and leave everthing out ready to go for your next spare five minutes .I do wish there was 36 hours in a day so we could have 12 for sewing , it is my idea of heaven on earth .

I feel LOTS beter knowing I am not alone in 'feeling left of center' when I dont get to do quilt stuff!! Lots of Life Happenings going on around my house for the last year or so nd my disposition shows it!! Sometimes I stay up all night so I can work undisturbed and get calmed and focused again...centered is a very appropriate word! I NEED to sew,craft, quilt, create for some hours everyday and I can accomplish a lot that way. Just has not happened a lot lately.

Not often enough on my own unless I have a quilt to make for someone (mostly baby) but whern I'm with my quilting group we meet once a week for 2 hours about 38 weeks a year.

I do everyday now that I had a heartattack my husband has made me promise it keeps me calm off for the summer I get to sew anytime I want but when schools in session i get about a half an hour a day.

Yes now that I am retired I do sew everyday, and those charm packs have spoiled me, as I like to make table runners, toppers and wall hangers, I like to piece quilts also, and then hire them machine quilted, we have a craft fair at Christmas time and I sell a lot of these items, then I can go buy more fabric,,,,,i copy patterns off the computer...I also like to hand quilt the smaller items......

I try to everyday but on average probably 5 days a week.

I try to sew a little every day. God bless. Penny

What a great idea! I tend to not sew or do quilt related things if "life happens", but I could do 15 min a day. Thanks you. :D

I try to do some thing quilt related every day for at least 15 minutes or so, except Saturday and Sunday which are my on the lake days. I work from home but I have a schedule and have to watch my emails - If not on the board or no loans to do then I will, hand quilt, binding, or go in the other room and sew. But I still don't get done all that I wanto to. Ummm... imagine that... :)

I go in spurts. Yesterday I worked on a quilt for my church's entrance and started at 9am and worked until 5 pm. I seem to get manic. I'll sew, sew, sew for days (4-8 hrs. a day) and then I get sidetracked and may not sew for 2-3 days.
