GIVEAWAY- CLOSED Winner- QUILTSONG notified
Today is Robin Pickens turn to share a quilt block named
CORNER GARDEN.
It is no surprise to anyone since each of her fabric collections are based on the study of flowers that Robin’s quilt block would also be a flower. I had a lot of fun piecing this block even though my leaves are cock-eyed.
To get the pattern, visit Robin’s blog, but you may want to read a little further because the Blockheads have some other goodies in store for you.
I wanted to take a few minutes and tell you about the Moda All-Star series of books. Each book focuses on a specific Moda precut including anything from Jelly Rolls to Mini Charms to the newest Fat Quarter book. My name is on the cover of each of these books as compiled by, but the real talent is inside the pages. Each designer has made a project and their proceeds of book goes to a particular charity. Each of the designers listed below will be giving away the featured e-book on their blockheads post today, so be sure and click on the blue link of the designers name to find out how to enter. I have also included a link to each of the books on Martingale site for more information. With each purchase of these books you are also making a contribution to a specific charity. Thank you for that!

Good morning, I only get about 4hours to quilt a week, I work full time and have a family. There just is not enough time! 🙁
I only spend a few hours a week on quilting, but that will increase come Fall!
I have a large vegetable garden and many flower beds so I only am able to quilt about 4 hours a week in the summer but when winter comes that changes to about 6 hours a day.
I’m lucky to be able to quilt 10 to 20 hours per week. Sometimes there is an additional 5 hours or so designing quilts on the compuer.
WOW!
It varies with my other activities. Right now I try to sew at least an hour a day. We just moved and unpacking has to take most of my time.
Good luck on the unpacking!
I would say I spend 8-10 hours a week quilting
On average, I quilt about 2-3 hours per week.
Since I am at home a lot more, I am getting to quilt around 15 hours a week.
I know it is crazy! I have been using lots of my stash!
I try to mange a couple of hours most days but certainly spend quite a bit of time loving my fabrics and planning the lovely quilts I will make. They don’t all materialise however.
On a good week, I think I spend about 4 or 5 hours a week quilting.
Ooh, if I’m lucky, I quilt about 10 hours a week. Still working full time, so some weeks are better than others, but I would say on average, 10 hours a week!
8-10hours a week much of it hand piecing or hand quilting. An 1-2 hour in my sewing room cutting or machine piecing. more when it’s nit gardening season
I probably spend 4 hours a week quilting and tons of hours mentally planning new projects I may never start!
These days…maybe 2-3 hours a week. 4 young kids, working on my master’s degree, major home improvement project in process…it all adds up! I love that I can quilt in very short time increments so at least I’m making progress, no matter how slowly.
It totally depends on the day and time I have, but I try for 2-3 hours at a time.
I usually spend 2 to 3 hours a day quilting so that’s 14 to 21 hours a week.
Ahh. Too bad just THINKING about it doesn’t count!. I’m at the machine at least 5 hours/ week. Sometimes much more
I try for at least 4 hours a week but this week the weeds have taken priority.
I try to quilt at least 15 minutes every day. That gives me a minimum of 1 hour 45 minutes a week, but usually it’s more
Now that I am retired I can spend 2 or 3 hours a day quilting…I feel lucky!!
I spend at least 6-10 hours a week quilting. My husband might say more. But I work at a local quilt shop so I get to do shop samples and such. I just bought Oh, Scrap! Just learned about the All Star books, what a great collections. So many more projects to go!
I usually get about 10 hours a week to piece and quilt. Wish it was more.
I quilt 5 or 6 hours a week. It’s how I relax between work and making supper.
I’m a full time Nurse practitioner and mom to a 1 year old so I get about 6-8hrs a week during my son’s naps. Sometimes more if I can keep him entertained in my sewing room
It is never the same……..with a special needs son to care for, garden, and other outside chores, not to mention working with my self-employed hubby quite a bit while he is absolutely covered up, doesn’t leave much more time than a couple hours total all week. But when it is rainy, I can get get alot more than that in! Love the winter time when I can stay inside by the wood stove and sew nearly all day some days. Fun!
I quilted quite a bit when things first shut down but have put it to the side recently
It can vary week to week but try to do a little each day. So probably about
8-10 hours a week at the least, sometimes more……
Ha ha!! Too bad the time thinking doesn’t count!! Probably an average of 15 – 20 hours per week. Some weeks are better than others. Especially if I have a project that needs to be completed for a special occasion. I tend to work better under pressure!! =:)
I usually get to spend 2 – 3 hours working on quilt projects on an average day, usually 5 days a week.
I am usually able to sew for a couple of hours a day on the weekdays. Weekends are hit and miss as I like spending that time with my husband and kids/grandkids.
I can quilt several hours each day. I probably spend more time looking at pictures of quilts than actually making them though. 🙂
I totally agree.
Just started to quilt again and so far I have been spending around 8-10 hours a week picking out fabrics, planning block placement and layout, cutting the blocks and piecing. Wow, I really enjoy each step it takes to make a quilt!
I am able to quilt about 1 day a week. Sometimes I sneak in a block or 2 after bedtime, but usually I have to wait till the weekends to block off dedicated time to quilt.
I’m getting in 15-25 thanks to quarantine. There will be lots of happy friends come this Christmas!!! I’m loving MODA Blockheads too. I’m using some 30’s reproductions to make a fun, bright summer quilt.
“Thinking about quilting”…that’s funny!!! Lately I’ve been able to spend about 3 hours a day quilting.
I am happily retired and gratefully sheltering at home, so I have about 15 hours a week to quilt, but that depends upon what’s happening in my world. Thank you for the book giveaways.
I like that you can do wonky like the rest of us! I so admired your work at Road to California and am retired since January so rearing to go as a new quilter. Quilting blogs, Facebook groups and you tube have saved me during this troubling time. I’m so inspired everyday.
I’m fortunate to be able to spend 15-20 hours quilting in my studio each week! Sometimes more!
With my college kids home due to covid, I quilt less per day. Also, less because one of them has been making masks herself.. I have sewing machine envy from her now! :). I am quilting probably 6-8 hours a week.
I spend about 8-10 hours a week quilting unless urgent needs crop up.
I like to quilt most days for at least 2 hours. I find it a calming activity amid the current chaos.
I spent a couple of hours a day on quilting, whether it be planning, piecing, or quilting. Some days I get to do a little bit more!
I have just retired so I am finding I have a lot more time to quilt now. Making quilts for my granddaughters right now so I am spending about 3 hours every afternoon when I have time between my regular chores and tending the garden. When did I find the time when I worked. Lol
At the moment only 2-3, as my husband is also using the space as his office. Zoom meetings and quilting do not work well together in a small space!
I try to quilt about 2 hours a day. My son is 12 and we are summer schooling right now, so me time is limited. Cant wait until we get back to normal.
I am sad to say I do more digital quilting, collecting ideas for when I have time to quilt, but 2-3 hours a week is more average.
I try to sew every day, even the days I work, I will get in about 30 minutes of sewing. Some days, I am in my happy place for several hours. Except when there are grandkids in the house. Not much sewing on those days.:) Thank you for this very generous give away, even if I never win. Stay cool and out of this Texas heat!
I’ve been quilting about 8-10 hours a week. Watching lots of YouTube and reading blogs and Facebook quilt groups. Sew much to learn. . Thanks for the opportunity and all your talent you share.
I may have time for 3 to 4 hours to quilt in the summer but more in the colder months.
I am able to spend about 4-5 hours a week quilting right now which is more than I was able to get in a few months ago.
