hi everyone. i haven't said much lately, though i've been lurking and trying to keep up with you all. lots of babies needing quilts in the past several months (next one may get a card only!). i made a quilted purse for a work buddy's birthday. and my son has started reminding me that he leaves for school in the fall and has not gotten his quilt yet. the weekend's coming - my best sewing time :lol: home tonight to put the border on another one - will see if i can get some good pics to post.

It is hard. I work full-time and have two kids. By the time I get home, get dinner cooked and cleaned up and the kids to bed, I am exhausted. I basically sit on the couch for an hour or two and then I am asleep. I try to sew on the weekends now when Madelyn is sleeping, but then the housework doesn't get done. I haven't really sat down much since I was on maternity leave. I miss it!

Sewcin, I love the quilt in your avatar!

I work full-time, and have a few things going on in my life right now, and am usually so tired when I get home. Every once in awhile I will be able to get a block done in an evening, but usually sewing is reserved for the weekends. Then, of course, there are all the "surprises" that life hands us that affect sewing time.... One thing I can say is, once I start sewing, the whole world outside my sewing room disappears, and I am "at one" with my machine and fabric. :D

I wish I had more time. I try to sew every other Saturday in my sewing room, using the machine. I keep hand work downstairs by "Mom's Chair" in case I"m home, relaxing-- :lol: :lol:
I do alot of applique on my lunch hour. I only get 1/2 hour so I gobble my yogurt, munch on carrots and put in a few stitches here and there.

I miss carpool line--I used to get alot more done :wink:

I squeeze it in , which means I am usually behind in getting things done :roll: Work full time also , plus with a large family it seems like something is Always popping up. Its tough, I miss the kids ball games and sporting events, use to get a lot done then :wink:

I use mostly weekends for quilting but do a little hand quilting in the evenings while staring at the boob tube. Sometimes the houseworks gets a little slack but it never goes anyplace so it is always available. I just got a new embroidery machine and have been spending way to much time on the internet and at the machine. I work full time also.

I try to sew some on my days off. Sometimes I get more time that others. My family knows I need my sewing time and they try to give me as much time a possible.

I also work full time and try to get the grandbaby time in. I try to quilt a little after work while waiting for my DH to get off work and when we have a nothing weekend - that's when I get quality time in. It's hard to find time to do it as much as I'd like.

The biggest majority of my sewing is done on Sundays. It's just me and hubby at home so he watches TV and I'll sew for a few hours in the evening. I also work full time.

Friday and Saturday is my family time.

Well, my house is dirty, and there are always chores undone. I tend to stay up late at night and rush to get ready the next morning. Of course, my days off work are MINE!!!

This is tougher when you have little kids at home. Luckily, mine are all grown and on their own. Hubby just grumbles a little bit about the dirty home. Dogs don't seem to mind, though!
