Sounds like things are a bit overwhelming right now (something I can sure
relate to!) But don't give up completely on quilting. I made my first three
quilts 10 minutes at a time. I was working 70+ hours a week, and I really
needed something to decompress with -- TV doesn't do it for me, but mindless
sewing fits the bill perfectly.

The trick is to be a little organized. You have a quilt in a frame -- does
that mean you're hand quilting it? That's a great project to have always
ready. Anything that can be strip pieced is also a great project. And don't
forget hand sewing -- keep a project in a bag that's always with you. You
never know when you'll get those 5 minutes.

I've been in what could be referred to as an "on hold" status. Mainly
because life demands it. Chasing a 19 month old daughter around adds a
challenge, hubby working many hours. When I have a moment I'm getting
caught up and this week we had to put the house on the market that we
just bought because the neighbors have created some pretty unsafe
situations. I keep my goodies. They are stored in an antique dresser.
I have a quilt in the frame so I can at least admire it and know what
I want to get back to. I miss it desperately and plan to get back, but
right now family is first.
