I never was able to get much sewing done before I retired in June of last year. This winter I was able to finish a couple of quilts and a few other projects for the first time. Our summers are quite busy with spending time with family and at our cabin in Minnesota. I DO love retirement though and now I feel like I finally have time to do something that I want to do, like quilt. Your time will come, don't give up on quilting. I have plenty of stash to keep me busy for many years. But I still like to buy - I'm trying to get over that habit, but it is not easy.
