    Good topic Wendy!
    Before retiring I spent two hours a day quilting now
    I'm lucking if I can find 2 hours a week quilting....

    Annis you've inspired me love your quilt!

      Not much, it would seem! I'm retired, and should have endless time for sewing, but somehow other pressing chores or duties intervene.

      Also, the person I live with gets annoyed if I spend too much time up in the sewing room. So, though I try to get up there every day, I often don't -- except for a quick stop to soak up some of the ambiance. And, if I do make time to sew, I often don't sew as long as I'd like. :dry:

      When I am alone at home, I will sew as much as I want...sometimes all day!

        The answer is "not nearly enough". I can always feel myself tilting a little more towards the crazy pool when I don't have my Zen quilting time! :silly: The first quarter of the year is always the busiest for me (NQR). If it wasn't for TQS and the little sneak peeks at what everyone else is doing I might well be prepping for a full blown swan dive. LOL! Annis, you never cease to amaze! I love everything about your latest quilt--colors, design, it's all terrific!

            Thanks, Lois! Things are busy (not enough time to quilt), but fine. We got back to San Jose Saturday night. George starts chemotherapy Thursday. He's doing great so far~ wish I could bottle and market his attitude. It would be a huge money maker. Or maybe I could just swap for fabric...now there's an idea!

                Glad to know things are going in a positive direction for George. You know, you have a pretty marketable positive attitude yourself!

                    I am a full time quilter so I quilt daily. I also stay home with three children (and one on the way) so it doesn't leave a lot of time for my own projects, but I do try to make time for them.

                        Aww thank you Wendy, I appreciate that! I tried to upload some photos but I will have to resize them later after the big kids get off to school, they were too big I think. I am due June 6th so by the time we are out of jackets, baby will be here.

                        I don't know if I have stamina or just very low standards of clean! LOL I am home full time so I don't get out of the house as much as I'd like to, quilting really keeps me sane and gives me something to work at. Thank you for your very kind words!

                          Congratulations on the new addition. Those are really our greatest treasures. They just grow up way too fast. Enjoy your quilting.
                          Charae, I will keep you and George in my prayers. Chemo has come a long way. Praying the side effects are mild and few.

                                I'm delighted to see that you've been reading my blog post, 10 Tips to Make More Time for Quilting, but that was only the beginning!

                                Check out Time-Saving for Quilters. This is an 8-part series of articles based on personal experience--a way to go minimalist as a quilter--to achieve terrific time-savings, freeing more time for quilting and other activities. The ideas can easily spill over into other aspects of your life!

                                Then, if you like that, you might also like the new series of articles, still in progress, called Money-Saving for Quilters.

                                Thanks very much for your interest in what I have to say that can help quilters maximize their resources. I hope you'll take a look at the online art quilt classes on offer at QuiltEd Online, and that you'll tell your friends about the site. Thank you!
