I usually only get a couple of days a week of sewing in. but that time is usually 4 - 6 hours at a time so I guess I'm not missing out on my 'me' time.

I dont sew everyday. I go in spurts. I do hand work when I dont feel like working on machine.

I dont get to sew everyday...all my machines shout as I go by...no doubt when I plan to sew someone else changes those plans. Lol

Nope, don't sew every day. I'm a retired RN & I'm still too busy to sew every day. I go in spurts - quilted like crazy before Christmas, currently poking along with charity quilts that really need to be finished soon.

Some weeks I get to sew 2-3 times, other weeks I don't get any sewing done. :(

I do not sew every day because since doing my version of Baltimore Bliss Applique quilt I need to trace the patterns onto fusible web and then iron onto the fabric before placing it onto the background fabric. That take at least 2 days just doing that and one day to sew it with the machine and blanket stitch. I then have to pull the threads to the back and tie them securely ---that is another afternoon. except now I tried to sew my finger to the block, lucky no blood hit it.

Same here, I dont sew during the week at all. I havent actually done any sewing for about 5 weeks now, been to busy or not in the mood.
