How many hours?
#41
I spend more hours *thinking* about quilting/sewing than actually doing it each day. It's a great feeling to have some tangible project in hand but I really enjoy too the whole thought process of planning, picking, looking, selecting, just using the imagination to come up with potential projects.

Have been sorting and cutting for 2 months, but no sewing.

Between kids and school, not nearly as much as I want to. When the kids aren't fighting, or climbing on me or I don't have an assignment to complete I can sneak up to a half an hour in (if the kids don't decide to try to kill each other during that time) Once they go to bed, and I dont have homework to finish, I can get up to a solid hour in LOL.

I try to get in a couple hours each night. Sometimes life moves into that space, and other times I've become frustrated and had to walk out on it. Might take a couple days to go back to the machine, but I try to work in the evenings after supper and the man is back in his cave.

i also have health issues.i tend to quilt quilts in the fall and winter and piece them the other months.applique can be done in front of the tv.
i suppose i work on quilts anywhere from 1 to 2 hours a day and have completed more than 30 that way over the years.
