Hello Dan, and welcome to the quilting board from sunny Nevada! When the kids were little, the times I was able to quilt was: before they got up in the morning, after they went to bed at night, and when my spouse helped me out by taking over the kids. The kids are older now, which gives me more time with my quilting! It still want to give that woman who said we modern women could "have it all" a piece of my mind! Oh, it's true, but only if you don't have to be bothered with sleep!
We appreciate the compliment of being your "expertise group" for quilting. We'd be happy to answer your questions.
