I'm still working so I don't get as much done as I wish I could. But when I am not actually quilting in some capacity (as I have more than one quilt going at a time) I am contemplating my next steps, or the fabric I need, or arranging to get to JoAnn's, the Bernina shop or wherever in amongst my errands so I consider that part of the deal. I also watch Love of Quilting and Sewing with Nancy plus You tube videos of quilting (and Pinterest for quilting ideas) to keep my skills sharp for the quilts I am planning. Oh and getting on here and seeing what you girls have to say. Quilting is like an obsession and it's hard for me not to incorporate it into every day in some way. I think it all counts, and I love every minute of it!
