When I retired from my office job, I found that it took me several weeks before the realization hit me that I was able to do what I wanted when I wanted to and settled down to do it. Now that I have a customer base built up I'm up at 5:30 a.m. take care of house work and outside chores before I head to the studio by 10:00; break at 11:30 to fix lunch for husband, back in studio by 1:00 playing (I mean working) until time to fix dinner or go to a grandchild's ballgame. If no ballgame, I will head back to the studio around 7 p.m to work on a customer's quilt. At 9:00 p.m. I break from customer's quilts and will sit down to work on piecing something for me. So, yes, I guess I do quilt on a schedule. This is pretty much my schedule 5 days a week. I try to stay out of the studio on Saturdays and Sundays, but sometimes I can't resist the pull that these projects have on me.
