I have not had time for any quilting in the last few weeks. DH is an over-the-road trucker. So I have the house, yard, animals, 32 hr a week PT job and a small home biz. Some weeks around 10 hrs other weeks NONE! GGGGRRRRR...

Some days I'm at it ALL Day. Lol. Started quilting in January of this year and have completed 10 so far. 3 baby, 3 twin, 1 full, 2 queen and 1 king. Oh, and have plans and fabric for 5 more right now. Have the 11th one on my wall and 1/3 of it pieced together. I think I'm addicted!!
Have learned so much from all the great quilters on the board, thank you so much, all of you!!!
HAPPY QUILTING

I have a great job as an RN and I have help with major cleaning (kitchen and baths) every other week, but cleanup is constant with 4 children (3 under 5). I think about quilting a lot so I'll take credit for that as "quilting". Actual fabric touching (cutting, ironing, piecing, etc.) is pretty slim these days...maybe 2-3 hours/week. I always have great plans to sew after the kids go to bed, but often pass out myself.

When I'm teaching f/t as in now where I'm writing the curriculum as I go - barely even walk into my quilt studio - except as a pass-thru to the laundry room on weekends. Lots of dust collecting. I was teaching f/t at the public HS last 3 qtrs of last year, before my DH died in May, but by the last semester had it down to where I could get in a few hours quilting a week - enuf to keep up w/a block of the month group here for the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt and most of a Sunday on the long arm. Was getting comfortable enough w/the pantos to start doing long arm quilting for some of the ladies in our local guild as I'd made the decision to not teach f/t any more.
This quarter (starting Monday) I get to teach a Geometry as Art - Quilting/math class which I'm supposed to be designing the curriculum right now and here I am on this board playing catch up as I went on a road trip the past weekend. I will get to do some quilting as in teaching the students & getting something put together - but this job has my time sucked up so there's nothing left for me outside of it.
Waah! I'm supposed to be semi-retired & enjoying my quilting time now that the kids are basically grown & doing their own thing & my time was getting to be my own... Well, I can look forward to two years from now when I can pull his retirement & put that plan in action.
