  1. I probably sew more in winter than in summer. Maybe averages out to 5-6 hours a week. Doesn'tmake me sound like much of a quilter but I really love it!

  3. I used to sew all the time but took a break when my youngest were really little. Since the beginning of the year I have started up again. I was sewing on average 1-2 hours a day but since breaking my finger 6 weeks ago, I have had to quit altogether... can't wait to see the specialist next week...hoping I can pick up where I left off!!
    Congrats on the 50+ followers and thanks for this great giveaway!!

  6. You now have 53 followers :) I sew mostly on the weekends about 4 hours a day. Lately I have been making hexagons by English Paper piecing while I ride the train to work, so that is about 1 1/2 hours more each day.

  30. Another NEW follower for you! Depending on what I'm up to I sew about 5-8 hours a week (more if I'm working on a commission or gift, less if it's just "hobby" sewing). But once in a great while I take a day off work and just sew all day. That's so much fun.

  31. I am a new follower. The number of hours I sew really varies from week to week. I have decided to aim for 24 hours a week, and make sure that I give myself at least that much time.

  33. I'm a new follower! I love your blog! I only get a chance to sew a couple hours a week, but I'm hoping I can get more time to sew when my schedule lightens up soon!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Following now. I don't get to sew on a regular basis. So when I do sew I make small quick things and I'd say about 3 hours total.

  35. I just stumble across your blog while searching for Vintage Modern fabric! I sew all day everyday. If I'm not sewing with my sewing machine I hand sewing. Thanks for the opportunity for a little online fun.

  41. I am now following your blog. I sew whenever I can steal the time. I'm now working part time and I'm sewing more than I watch TV, which is new to me. I'm probably sewing 6 - 8 hours a week. Rediscovered the joy!

  42. Congrats on 88 followers! I had vacation this past week and I bet I sewed for 40 hours. In a normal week I might get a chance to sew about 8-10.

  43. I am a follower of your blog and my sewing time tends to be feast or famine. I'm in school right now and had to shelve my quilting projects but I'm counting down till August when I can rev up my sewing machine again!

  44. I'm a new follower! My weekly sewing time is not very consistent. It could be anywhere between 0 - many, many hours... lol! Lately I've been doing a lot of cross stitching instead of sewing but my sewing pile is getting pretty big! ;)
