Since I retired June 2nd, I work on quilts about 5 - 6 days a week. My goal for the rest of my life is to make as many quilts as I can. No chance of me ever sewing up all my fabrics, I make a quilt and go buy several yards, for sure a lot more than it takes for a quilt.

I sew everyday! I do chores in the morning - there aren't very many since it is just me and my DH at home now - then I have the rest of the day to sew. I have been doing a lot of hand work - English Paper Piecing - so I need a lot of breaks to rest my hands. I think I spend 6-8 hours a day doing something quilt related. WOW - that is a lot of time - like having a full-time job - except a lot more fun.

I sew, piece or quilt every day of the week, usually 4 or 5 hours a day. If something happens and I cannot sew, I have serious withdrawals and worry about getting behind. No, this is not a job, it is a compulsion. I do volunteer or charity work and dearly love it. I eat, sleep and dream quilts. When I go shopping for food, I picture quilts out of food containers. Should I see a doctor now? The dogs are hanging onto their fur for dear life. Should I see a doctor now? LOL
