    My day: Up at 8 -8:30 am. 9am -12pm read Quilting Board and do responces. Go to gym, work out for at least 1 1/2 hrs. Run errands (if needed) while out. Home and in sewing room again looking at this board. Try to con by DH into fixing dinner so I can sew (he wants to know what I've been doing all day that I can't make dinner lol). If con succeeds I start sewing, if not then I've got to wait until about 7pm to get back into sewing room. Oh wait there's some responces to the responces I made earlier - gotta read em! Now I'm exhausted and just ready for some boobtube time - can't miss House, Glee, American Idol, Bones, Criminal Minds, Murphy's Law, Fringe, etc, etc, etc. WAIT A MINUTE WHO ASKED THIS CRAZY QUESTION AND CAUSED ME TO EVALUATE MY DAY :hunf: ??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Definitely not enough!! I do it when I can, and try to work it around other family things. Would be nice to have a several hour block of time--oh what I could accomplish! :)

    No special time or day, probably 4-5 hours a week.

    i only sew during the week if i'm not too tired from work and the weekends i sew as much as i like...i don't feel guilty because it's constructive, life is short, and they bring joy to the people i give them to and myself...sew on!!! :thumbup:

    some days-all day. Other days after I get my stuff done in the rest of the house, maybe only an hour or two. If i have a project that needs to be done right away, everything else slides until it's finished. I try to sew some every day.

    My husband goes to bed at about 8:00pm every night and I try to quilt for about 3 hours then. Sometimes during the day, too, if nothing else has come up.

    Some days a lot and other days not at all. I have to be in a sewing mood or I make too many mistakes.

    For me I usually am most productive after my daughter goes to bed (8pm) and just after she catches the bus (7am) for an hour or so. I work swing shift but on my days off I am usually always in the sewing room.

    Not nearly enough. Evenings mostly after dinner is done, dishes are washed and the stupid phone has quit ringing. Then, if I get involved, I may quilt until Midnight.
