Did you miss the earlier volumes of 100 Blocks? Here are some options.
Volume 1 through My EQ Boutique
I usually end up sewing after dinner, because there are fewer intrusions and interruptions. But my favorite time to sew is mid-morning, when I’m alert and at my most creative!
I sew when I am in the mood and can find the time. Usually after work in the evening and during the day on the weekends. Would love to win some Moda precuts! What fun!
I usually sew at my youngest sons nap time, around about lunch time. And at night after the kids are in bed.
I sew during the day in the week when the boys are at school and sometimes at the weekend.
super cute blocks, amazing prize, love love love Moda, and would love to win and make some stuff for my new house that we are moving into next week :O} a great housewarming present!
I visited Moda Fabrics, for a chance to win some pre=cuts, that would be wonderful, and I sew in the mornings, thanks for the wonderful blocks cant wait to see the complete book,. thanks for this chance
During the week I sew in the evenings, but on weekends I sew during the day. Enjoying all the blog entries. Thanks for the chance to win.
I do most of my machine sewing in the afternoon and most of my hand sewing (usually bindings) in the evening while watching TV. But on a really good day I’ll sew all day long!
As I am now retired I sew during the week. I would love to win this prize. Thanks for the sneak peaks but can’t wait for the book.
I sew during the day and usually leave the hand work for the evenings.
weekdays its in the evenings and weekends – well all day of course! lol thanks for the lovely giveaways and the blog tour. I really enjoy it and learn a lot from it.
I normally sew in the evenings when our youngest is in bed. But I also do enjoy doing stitcheries for which I can find time during my days, waiting somewhere, chatting with friends, …This week time is short, I spend more time at my computer on your great blogtour!!!
I love to get up early and sew, while the world is all quiet and there are no other demands. Of course my favorite time to sew is “anytime I can”.
I’m so glad I found your blog! I LOVE this site and I have to tell you that I’m so inspired that I don’t want to go to work but want to stay home and play!
I usually sew whenever the oportunity is there. Every evening watching telly I stich. Hugs Jofrid
I normally sew during the day, late morning to late afternoon. I machine quilt for people, so I am at my sewing machine during the times I am not doing that, I treat it like my regular ‘work’.
Fortunately, I am retired and have the flexibility to sew any time of day. My favorite time is in the morning as my machine is next to an east facing window and I love to see the sunrise and have the sun to light my sewing area.
Thanks for the chance to win! Another 100 pieces of eye candy, yum!! I’m lucky to be able to sew whenever the spirit moves me…. and the 7 times a month that I can sew in my different quilt groups, all day long. Lucky me!!
I’m usually up by 5:00 so I am able to get in an hour or a little more before I go to work in the morning. And then back at it after I walk in the door in the late afternoon.
Of course, that doesn’t happen every day.
With my work schedule, I usually quilt just when I can – midmorning is the median time.
I would love to win!!! I sew on weekends and daily after work.
While I do a bit of hand work after work and before bed, my dedicated KEEP AWAY sewing time is Saturday … as much of it as I can grab (usually 2-4 hours), and vacations!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I sew in the night,usually after 10 p.m. or in the weekend
I need to sew during the day while the kids are at school but I usually end up getting distracted. My sewing time is usually while they’re bathing and getting ready for bed.
I like sewing when I am in the mood but there are times when I have to sew but it doesn’t take me long to get that thrill and I am off in my own sewing world again. I can’t imagine life without a needle and thread in my hand or my Bernina 830 humming along.
My sewing is usually later at night – after work and dinner and only if the kids are occupied with their own thing.
I sew at different times, I prefer to sew when I can take my time since I’m a slow worker and my projects develop further in each step. Probably more so in the late afternoon when I’ve gotten some things done and feel like I deserve some “me” time. I do hand sewing if I’m watching t.v. in the evening.
I wish I could sew all day, but, life gets in the way. Mostly I sew in the evenings.
I usually sew in the afternoon or evening-whenever I have a few free moments. My sewing room is a favorite place to be whenever I am the only one home.
Am having a lot of fun poking around on all these new to me sites. I generally enjoy sewing in the afternoon when it is quiet here.
I sew early in the morning. Everything gets too hectic after that. lol

i sew for others, so am sewing any time of day. I’m up sewing before my son goes to school some days, and will sew as late as 10 pm. I’ve told my kids I may get up and sew in the middle of the night if I can’t sleep (but haven’t done it yet)
I sew at night. I’m not a morning person, and I have to work from 8-5, but when I get home, I’m sewing … especially if my Honey is on the road and I’m alone with the dog. I also love the rare weekends when I have an entire day to myself to sew from morning until night! Thanks for the chance to win – I always enjoy this hop!
I usually sew when the house is quiet & all the kids are at school. Sometimes I do sneak a little sewing in after supper too.
I enjoy sewing the most when no one else is home. That is usually on Tuesday mornings.
I do most of my sewing in the evening or in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep.
I sew during naptime- that’s the only time I have without too many curious onlookers poking their fingers into everything.
I sew mainly when I can get a chance. I’m currently in college, so I find that I sew to destress, it works great. I plug in my ipod, listen to my classes and sew my stresses away.
I usually sew in the afternoon when I have time. Machine sewing during the day and hand sewing in the evening.
I love Moda fabrics! Most of my sewing is done in the evenings after work or on weekends during the day.
I sew in the afternoon after the chores are done and the dogs are walked–if I started sewing in the morning, nothing else would get done!
I machine sewing at weekend and handsewing at night.
I usually sew mostly on the weekends – mid morning to bedtime with breaks between. If I have time and energy when I get home from work each evening I also try and play with the fabrics some.
I sew more often in the afternoon. Mornings are for sleeping in! Evening are for family time, but if I have handwork I can do that in the livingroom with the family.
Usually i sew when the kids are distracted… that means morning or nights! I do also sew when hubby is watching tv behind me. It helps us get some “quality” time in! LOL. Thanks for the chance for the fabric!
More great blocks! Can’t wait to get a copy of this issue! I like to sew in the morning, when I have the best light in my sewing room (otherwise known as my bedroom). Thanks for the chance to win!
I love looking at the different blocks on each tour day. This has been really fun!
I work full time and don’t have time during the week to sew but I do spend some quality time with my machine and fabric on the weekends. I usually try to quilt on the long arm on Sundays while my husband is watching football!
I love to sew during the day when I get time, but i do most of my sewing after everyone else is in bed. My creativity flows when i know I won’t be interrupted. Thanks for another chance to win!
I sew in the morning and early afternoon. Sometimes late afternoon in the summer but the sun shifts in my studio and the light is better for other things.
I love this. I make an average of ten to twelve quilts a year. I am always looking for new blocks to try and I love the Moda fabrics.
What can I say? Moda fabrics rock. I love using them for my quilt and small projects like tea cozies….the fabric quality can’t be beat and the selection is amazing.
I usually get a chance to sew mostly on Sunday afternoons. But I do hand stitching, and crocheting(therefore, that is my hand quilting time) every evening while watching tv.
Otherwise, it’s about 15 minutes here and there throughout the day while waiting for a phone call, or in the middle of cooking, etc. I keep a cutting board and scraps to cut on a nearby table, so I can do a little at a time whenever I have a few minutes. Otherwise, I’d never get anything done! It’s rare to get more than an hour to sew at one time.
I usually sew in the afternoons when I have time to do so (and when I’m NOT sick!) Thank you for doing this blog hop. It’s been real good this time around! I’m going to have to purchase the EQ Boutique version of Volume I! Thank you for that too!
I sew any chance I get! I enjoy sewing in front of my fave shows on TV,I can no longer watch without something to sew in my hands! But sometimes,I will just getr the strongest urge to get something to sew on,so I keep several projects going at once ready to grab at a moments notice!
The Rose Bud Reel block looks perfect for a Christmas quilt that I am planning right now! I haven’t tried my hand at many blocks with curves, so I guess now is the perfect time to be inspired and try new things!
I sew everyday. Tell my husband that sewing is my job!
I usually sew after supper, and long into the night, especially during baseball season. Hockey, on the other hand, is less conducive to sewing
I love all those blocks. I usually sew in the afternoon after I have done some chores and gotten all my emails answered and blog hopping done.
I don’t often sew during the week, since I work all day. Occasionally in the evening, I might sneak in an hour. I am a weekend warrior, sewing for hours at a time on Saturday and/or Sunday!
I’d love to win!
I always sew in the afternoons of my days off. I hurry around in the a.m. to get the “needies” done and sew until it’s time to start supper! I’m lucky to have a hubby who knows how to order take-out
After breakfast and checking things on the computer each morning I head into the sewing room to start the day right!
thanks
I am a late evening sewer. I started doing that when my kids were small and haven’t changed that habit at all. I just can’t sit still long enough to sew during daylight hours!! Moda fabric is the greatest…….love all of it!!
I usually start sewing right after Noon. I spend the mornings running errands and planning my strategy for finishing all of the UFOs I keep starting.
Then I sit down for the afternoon and sew away, often jumping between projects.
I usually sew after dinner although if I get a chance I sew at any time of the day that is convenient. I like to sew in bright daylight although that doesn’t happen most of the time.
Best time for me is the am…however, if I have a project that I’m seriously excited about I can quilt into the late evening hours!
I love having a sewing room and being able to slip in and sew whenever I have a few minutes, without having to set back up! Love the ideas. Thanks for sharing. Belinda
HA! Depends on what kind of a deadline I am on. Sometimes I am up sewing at 5 a.m. My kitty, Tigger thinks that I need to be up that early anyway. Sometimes I hit the sewing machine as soon as I get home from work about 6 p.m. Usually after work I sit and knit stocking caps for the homeless while I watch two news shows that I have DVR’d though. On the weekends it might be a marathon sewing session from sunup to sundown and beyond.
I love Moda Fabrics. I sew mainly in the evenings after I have finished all of the afterwork chores. It is my two hours of destressing to enable me to face the next day of 8-5 job. Tammy
I usually try to start in the morning and take a break around noon then start again after a break. I find this works because if something isn’t working when I start again I usually can make it work. If I get into something I will sew again after supper dishes are done.
I sew whenever I want most of the time. I work on several projects at a time. Thanks!
Since I work full time, I do most of my quilting on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
I sew during the day and save the evenings for hand- work when watching TV.Thanks
I usually sew in the evening while listening to the TV. Thanks for the chance to win!
Would love to win a copy of the magazine. These blocks are wonderful so far. Don’t know where to start.
Usually, I sew during the day, but as a deadline approaches, I’ll sew until around 11:00 p.m. After that hour, I tend to make mistakes or sew through my fingers, so in an attempt to avoid bodily harm, I stop while I have my wits about me.
I sew every chance I get. Often at 3 or 4 am. but I meet with a group on Thursday and Sundays which is great open sewing undisturbed. I do hand work in the evening and in the car whiled I wait to get the little one from school. My next years projects are to make tabletop quilts for every month so new fabric would be very appreciated.
Oh! I love Moda fabrics!!! What amazing quilt blocks as well!
I prefer to sew in the morning, but on work days it’s more likely to be late afternoon or evening.
I usually sew in the afternoons and sometimes in the evening. If I have some handwork to do–bindings and labels–I’ll do them in the evening while watching television.
Even after retiring my days are very full so I do most of my sewing in the hours after dinner–often till way too late!
I simply love this block tour….it’s only downfall is trying to choose which blocks to make first!
I’m retired and sew during the day for pleasure and for the hospital. Love the blocks I’ve seen so far!!!
I like to sew mid-day through late at night. My creativity gets going especially after dark!
I work full time but I love to come home and sew after dinner. It’s so relaxing. I sometimes have to get up early and sew for 10 or 15 minutes before work too because I’m so excited about the project I’m working on!
Ok, I’m taking quilting collegue classes, two times a week, and while I’m not there, I’m in my home sewing!!!, I sew all day long, and about 7 in the evening, I’m off, well right now, I’m taking a rest, because of y-o-u-r party hog, which I love to read <3, yay!!!, I can't live without quilting
I sew in the evening after work and try to sew all day on Saturdays if I can.
I tend to sew in the afternoon and evening, into the night…I am not a morning person, and then I read my emails, extended now into checking out all the wonderful blogs, finally get to sewing later in the day…
Since I am now retired, I get to sew during the day when the light coming in my window is oh so good! But I still enjoy sewing in the evening as well.
I usually quilt in the morning. But I don’t allow myself to start until I’ve done all my housework chores for the day. And then, if my husband isn’t looking I quilt in the afternoon. And then, when my husband goes to bed I sneak upstairs for a few hours before calling it a day!
So perhaps the question should have been “when do you usually NOT quilt?”
I’d Love these pre-cuts. I love Moda
~a
I almost always head to my basement sewing room sometime after dinner is cleaned up. I work full time and my weekends are busy, so it is generally weekday evenings. Would love more time to quilt, but I have to be satisfied with evenings for now!
Judy W
I love to sew in the afternoon, before dinner. It’s even better when my hubby cooks!
I save my quilting time till late at night. With a full time job, a kindergartener and the hubby working away from home, it’s the only time I get to myself.
I usually sew on Monday or Friday in the evening. Thanks for the giveaway
Love Moda! Love the blocks! Love to win! Thanks for the chance! I like to sew in the afternoon.
I like to sew in the morning when the family are at school/work!
Thanks for a great blog tour
I sew late at night ususally after the house has gone to sleep. I will sew at any opportunity but I’m most productive late at night.
I love to sew in the afternoon. If I’m under pressure, I also sew in the evenings. Thanks for the chance on the giveaway!
I usually sew in the evening once everyone has completed homework, dinner, chores and all that fun stuff. And I have to say that I love Susan Geddes block, I got to be one of the testers for that block and it was so fun to make.
I usually sew in the evening.
If I’m lucky then sometimes on the weekends.
I sew after dinner and on the weekends. I have a very understanding spouse who likes his own time in the evenings while I’m sewing.
I usually sew when my little guy is napping after lunch. Sometimes I’ll sew a bit in the evening if my hubby has a meeting. THANKS for the chance at one of those lovely bundles!

That rose bud reel is absolutely gorgeous. I have a tough time finding time to sew. Usually I do handiwork while watching TV, but I have to schedule a Saturday in advance to make the time to sew on the machine.
I am lucky enough to have my own sewing room and find myself in there every day. Mostly in the afternoon and after dinner.
My best time to sew is in the morning or during the day. I save handwork for night when I am tired and watching tv.
I sew at any time of the day – whenever I can grab the minutes out of my schedule!
I have a longarm business so I quilt all day long
Can’t sew late at night as once I get tired I start to make mistakes and spend more time picking than sewing!
I sneak down to my sewing room whenever I can….generally when the baby goes to bed…sometimes I can sneak down when she’s napping. My, how she has changed my world!!! *grin* and I wouldn’t give it back for anything!!!!
I sew while my girls are at school and also after they go to bed. Thanks for the chance to win!
I sew anytime I get the chance. Mostly in the late evening when it is quite in the house.
I quilt/sew whenever I’m not at my away from home job. If I’m home, I’m sewing. Cleaning , cooking and the like happen only of I have nothing to sew. (that means they happen only when someone else does them)
I frequently sew after my husband goes to bed. Being a night person, I get new energy as the sky darkens. But I’ll sew almost any time I get a chance.
Generally I sew during the day on my days off. That way the house is quiet and I’m not interuppted.
I usually sew during the day. I make too many mistakes when I am tired!! LOL!
I would love to win the Moda Pre-cuts.
Cindy
I sew after work. Working is required since I have to support my quilting habit somehow
On a good week, I’ll sew all day Saturday or Sunday – that’s my idea of a perfect weekend!
I sew after dinner because I work fulltime away from the house. Oh, and weekends, if I can squeeze it in!
Love the Moda material! I always do some sort of handwork in the evening. Machine – daytime is best for me because I like the sun to be out and bright to show off the beautiful materials.
I sew whenever… Usually, I try to get most “chores” done in the morning so I can sew in the afternoon or/and the evening. But, if I’ve got a project going, I will sometimes begin to work in the morning. I loved the yo-yo basket block you’re showing. I used to think I wasn’t a fan of yo-yos but I’m changing my mind and this basket is darling.
I like to sew in the evening after supper and dishes are done. I can get lost in my piecing and not have to worry about anything else. I also think I am more relaxed and my stitching is more accurate in the evening. The only complaint I have is there is no natural light in the evening so I pray the power stays on. Would love to win some Moda fabric. Thanks for the chance.
I do a lot of my sewing at night after the kiddos are in bed.
I sew when my husband is away. The time saved by not preparing’proper’ meals, setting the table, conversing etc is considerable! (I miss him like mad and the sewing is to distract me.)
I usually machine sew in the afternoons and hand sew in the evenings.
I usually sew after my three boys are tucked into bed. Sometimes I get to sew on a weekend afternoon, when they’re all otherwise occupied. Plus, I have a Monday night quilting group so a few of us quilty women can get together for sewing and chatting. It’s great!
I dont have a specific time of day when I sew. Any time is good for me. Thanks for the giveaway.
Love the blocks! I get to sew/quilt any time that I want to…..I’m retired. Thanks for the chance to win, I just love the Moda fabric.
Retired now. I can sew during the daytime!! Hurray!! I sew for an hour during Regis and Kelly. I take an hour’s break to do other things. Then I sew again during The View. time for lunch, then maybe another hour of sewing or tinkering in EQ. Sometimes I sew at night — but not things where I have to make decisions or use complicated techniques.
I love today’s blocks. I love to sew morning or afternoon. Rarely at night, except for some hand work.
I like sewing late morning or early afternoon, I have lots of windows and the natural light at that is best for my older eyes!
I sew around the clock! Thats my job and so when I sew for myself is sort seems like my work day just continues. Or I start with my stuff and end with other peoples. So Im lucky to be able to quilt pretty much when the sewing fairy muse strikes.
I’m new to quilting but I’ve loved quilts all my life. Being semi-retired, I have opportunity to sew day or night, but it’s usually in the evening. Thanks for a chance to win.
Just as soon as I get the kitchen cleaned up after dinner. That’s usually around 7pm…then I sew till 10pm when I’m “forced” to hit the sheets becuase my day starts early in the morning. Sandi
During the weekday – usually never. But come the weekend many times from 8 a.m. till 2, 3, 4 a.m. the next day. Have to make the most of those hours away from the job that pays for the stash!
I sew during the day. I am usually ready to read or watch a show at night. Claudia
I find that most of my sewing is done later at night when I will have less interruptions.
I sew mostly at night and weekends as I work.
I usually sew in the evening after supper. Work is done and it is my time to relax and sew.
I sew in mid-day, after my most pressing chores are done and before I’m too tired. Although in summer, when the days are long, I like to sew in the evening while I listen to baseball.
I sew anytime I am in the mood from early morning to late at night.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I do a lot of my sewing in the evenings because I don’t enjoy watching television with my husband. He watches lots of ballgames and political programs, which I don’t particularly enjoy, and also changes channels so fast and often it makes your head spin. I also sew most any time I have time, including in the middle of the night when I can’t get bakc to sleep.
I’m an afternoon sewer. I like to get my outside chores and household chores all done in the morning before I make dinner. If I sew in the evening I usually spend too much time “unsewing”. I wish I could be the kind of person that sews all night, BUT I’m not.
Sue Garman’s block looks so elegant.
I usually blog a little first thing in the morning and then hit my sewing room for most of the day.
I usually quilt in the afternoon and in the evening.
I always sew at night since I work during the day. And I sew some every night it seems. I also sew on the weekends.
I am retired and I quilt anytime I want as long as I have dinner on the table at a reasonable time in the evening! Love your Mag and thanks for the chance.
I’m a night sewer but must rotary cut during the day because the lighting is better then.
I usually sew right after lunch every afternoon. Mornings are occupied with housework. Once the housework if finished, the sewing begins. In the evenings I often work on hand sewing while I watch TV with my husband.
Linda in Southern Illinois
I sew whenever I can! Waiting in the car to pick up daughter after school, during my sons nap, but mostly in the evening once I have the kids to bed. Hope I win!!
I sew whenever I get the chance, but lately it’s been in the evening after dinner when it gets quieter. Wish I could retire and sew all day. I have lots of projects I’d like to do!
i am free to sew as the mood strikes and how i feel, so i sew for short periods as i tire easily, throughout the day
During the week I sew at night! On weekends I sew during the day. I like alot of people have a full time job, to help support my addictions – sewing and quilting. And that full time job sure takes a big bite out of my sewing time.
During the week it’s before dinner – actually while it cooking and then again after dinner. On the weekends it’s in and out of the sewing room all day between other chores.
I enjoy sewing in the early morning, before going to work.
I usually sew late mornings or early afternoons. Thanks for another great giveaway!
I stumbled on Kelly’s block from don’t look now. It’s sweet, so I came looking for more great blocks. wow, I love them all.
I mostly sew in the evening after the kids have gone to bed. If I travel to work by train, I also sew on the train to and from work (and can get some puzzled look and questions some times!)
I sew in the evenings, chores and time permitting, during the week and on weekends when I can. Would love to win this latest edition!
i usually sew after lunch and before dinner.
I sew as much and as often as I can. Love to sew when there is no one around-no interruptions!
This is all so exciting. The build up, the beautiful blocks, the contests, the hop
Thanks for hosting!
I love sewing in the morning. I watch the neighborhood come alive outside my window. It’s a great way to start the day!
I sew when the urdge hits me, generally in the latter afternoon/evening! I love to sew/quilt! Sew rewarding!!!
Love my Moda! There are so many blocks, it is really inspiring to see so many variations out there.
Moda has the most awesome fabric lines and designers! I usually do hand stitching at night during the week while watching TV, and piecing by machine on weekends. Can’t wait to get my hands on the newest 100 blocks magazine!
I usually try to sew after I get out of work {3:00} and until bedtime. As long as I don’t have anything else going on.
Although I’d love to sew at any time of day, I most enjoy late afternoon or early evening when it’s relaxing to sit and enjoy the process.
Marilyn
Thanks for the giveaways and I love your magazines.
I usually sew by machine during the day…generally after lunch, after the housework’s done! then nightime is stitching in front of the tv with hubby…..must look like something off an old movie!!!!! LOL
thanks so much…..love blog hopping!
sugary hugs
Wendy :O) XO
I get to cut and sew on my days off-sometimes I spend the whole day playing-often forgetting to eat or get something to drink and still wearing my jammies!! Makes getting to bed a lot easier, just take off robe and collapse!
Another great day of quilt blocks. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
I sew when I have a day off and almost every evening when I work!
LOVE MODA and all of the blocks!
Since mornings are my best time of day, I like to get started sewing by mid morning. If I can get started then, I will usually make a day of it!
I usually sew at night, when hubby is watching OReilly and others! LOL Thanks for the chance to win!
I usually sew in the afternoon. I try to get my errands and housework done in the morning so that the afternoons are all mine. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of this magazine.
I always sew when I watch TV, so usually in the evenings, but Sunday afternoon too when NFL football is on. Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric!
Oh, I just love these giveaways!! Thank you thankyouthankyou!!!
Most of my sewing is done in the evening/night. Although I usually have to stop after a couple of mistakes. They tend to breed. lol
I sew in the evening when I watch tv! I’m a multi-tasker! I do set aside 1 hour every day to create! Those hours really add up!!
My favorite time to sew is early morning.Usually, I seem to get more done then. Love the tour!
During the week I sew in the evenings and on the week ends (depending on housework load) I sew during the day and if I’m ultra lucky, I sew in the evenings also! Thanks for the chance, Dianne
I usually start about noon, too much going on in the morning, then I keep going til the hubs gets home.
I love to sew anytime. Especially love to pet my fabrics.
Sadly, I mostly only get to do any quilt work on weekends. Full time work really takes too much out of me to allow quilting during the week. And then there’s so much catch-up and practical chores that need doing on the weekend, time to quilt is precious and rare indeed.
Everyday I see more cute blocks from the 100 Blocks book. I’d love to have it.
I do most of my sewing in the evening and on weekends. I enjoy applique and hand quilting in the recliner while I ‘watch’ TV.
Thanks!
I’m lovin this blog hop! I usually sew late afternoon and early evenings. Sometimes I like to sew late at night…I have memories of going to sleep listening to the hum of my mom’s machine, and I want to give my daughter the same experience. She says it is nice to listen to the soothing sounds of the sewing machine.
I usually sew in the evenings after dinner, and during the afternoon on weekends when I get a chance. I really like sewing in the daylight.
I’m retired, so I have the privilege of being able to sew whenever the spirit moves me, but usually I take some time in the late morning and afternoon. If I’m truly obsessed with a project, I’ll sew after dinner too.
I usually sew in the evenings and into the night. Most times I lose track of time and end up staying up way too late!
Any Old Time
I steal little pieces of time as they present themselves. I do get blocks of time on the weekend too. My machine is all set up and ready to roll whenever I find that little piece of stolen time 
Thankyou so much for the wonderful blog tour
I work at home (LAQ) so when I’m not doing that I’m sewing! I also try to meet with my sewing buddy once a week to stay on track! Thanks for the chance to win!
My most common times to sew are around 2 and/or 9.
I sew in the middle of the night when my family is asleep.
I normally work 12 hour shifts in the evenings -i spend all the daytime hours i can with my family
I often sew in the evenings; but also like daytime sewing on the weekends. I have been known to get so involved in projects that I sew all day into the evening…just breaking for meals.
I sew mostly in the afternoons when I have time and no one is visiting—I can’t talk, cut or piece without focusing. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I sew during the day when have the time and enough natural daylight that is easy for me to see. It’s great seeing blocks take shape in the sunlight coming through the windows. Thanks for the chance. I’m enjoying visiting the blogs, such as the Moda blog and Quilt Dad.
I sew when I get other housework done and in the evening. Thanks for the chance to win.
I usually sew in the evenings, after the dinner dishes are done, the coffee ready for the next morning and the clothes ready for work. It relaxes me!
I can sew any time of day! I like to start in the morning and just keep going but evening works for hand stitching.
Since I’m retired I can sew any darn time I want – even 2:00 in the morning! It’s wonderful!!!

When ever I get a chance to sit at my sewing machine I’m happy. I have seen so many blocks today that I like. Great fun!
I do most of my machine quilting in the afternoon and my hand sewing at night.
I am usually working on things from the afternoon until I go to bed.

I do most of my sewing in the evenings after work. I try to spend an hour or two before bedtime working on my various quilt projects or gifts I am making.
I’d have to say that I sew “after my children turned sixteen years old.” Oh, you didn’t want to know when I have sewn during the past decade…okay.
Actually, now that my 3 girls are 16, 18, and 21 I have much more time to sew. I usually sew first thing in the morning or in the evening. I work full time so when I work I sew in the evenings; when I’m not working I sew in the mornings. I’m just thankful that I’m getting to sew much more regularly now. 
Life is good!!
I would like to be able to sew in the morning, but with young children who like to get up early that leaves the night time after their bedtime.
I get up an hour early and sew before I get ready to go to work. Some days it goes by the wayside but on the days I really sew for an hour it really starts my day right. I have to be careful though, get too involved and don’t want to go to work!!
I like to sew in the afternoon when there is a block of time of a few hours so I can really get something done. Thanks! Kd
I get in the mood, more in the late afternoon,,and into the evening..sometimes stay in the mood until very late at night into early a.m….always have been a night owl…thanks for the opportunity!!
Occasionally I get to start in the morning but usually I don’t get to sew until I get my husband off to work at 2 pm. Then I sew until I get tired.
I usually sew in the evenings after work, and whenever I feel like it on the weekends! LOVE Moda fabrics!
I love to start sewing early in the morning before the rest of the world gets up.
Love to sew early when it’s still quiet!
I sew whenever I feel like it, but most often just trying to finish things the evening before people come to pick up their stuff.
My sewing day usually starts about 11A, and ends somewhere around 11P. Is there something else I should do? laundry? dishes? clean? check e-mail? haul out the recycling? cook? Hmmm…. nah, I’ll just go sew. The cat doesn’t mind.
I sew whenever my need to sew happens. It could be early morning or late evening, but I think I do my best late evening while I listen to my favorite shows on TV. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I like to sew in the afternoons and evenings after I finish my chores.
I don’t think there’s any usual time to sew here. Anytime of day or night works for me lol
I love all the beautiful colorful prints that come from Moda. I also love the Moda solids.
I usually sew on the weekends, because I work full-time and cannot see to sew in the evenings.
I sew while watching TV from around 7 pm until 11 pm most nights although I sneak off to the computer off & on during that time. This blog tour is such fun – thanks so much.
I use to sew in the evenings, I’m plenty of water, juice and snacks while I sew
, you know, no distractions for me!
I usually sew on the weekends in the morning. Sometimes I add in an afternoon during the week.
Late night, after all the babies are in bed, and I should be too.
I usually machine sew after lunch till dinner time then hand-piece and applique at night.
I probably mostly sew later at night, between 8 and 12–it’s quiet, and there are no obligations to take care of.
Lovely coloured fabrics would turn into a beautiful young ladies quilt!
9p.m. – midnight… which could explain the many things that get sewn/cut wrong and have to be redone… the planning and dreaming usually happen earlier in the day though, like on lunch break or when I’m sitting in the doctor’s office.
I sew any time of the day or night, whenever the time is right.
I always sew early in the morning from 7-8 while watching the News and waiting for the men folk to go to work and then always in the evening while watching tv. Machine sewing is done at any spare moment during the day.
Love this, love this, love this….moda is the best.
Since I work fulltime, quilting is usually relegated to evenings – unless I get a weekend with no prior commitments – then it’s simply round the clock, as long as my stamina holds up!
Since I am retired I have the luxury of being able to sew when I want. In the evenings I prefer to handsew (quilt) and do the machine work in the day.

I sew right after lunch so that I can take advantage of nap time!! Love it!!
I sew in the evenings since I work during the day. I also sew on the weekends some but pretty much a sew at least a few minutes every day.
I sew in the evenings and on weekends because I work during the day. Can’t wait to retire so I can sew whenever I want….only 34 more years to go!!
I sew whenever I have any spare moments. I love to sew and it is usually in the evenings because I still have a real job for 19 more months. I am so looking forward to retirement and sewing all day long.
I sew during daylight hours. The lighting at night, even with all my lights turned on over the machine, just isn’t good enough, no matter where I am.
I’m a stay-at-home grandma of an autistic, diabetic grandson and although he’s at school I have to be on-call if anything happens. So, because I don’t have a social life, I sew all day long and search the web for more quilty projects to do for friends and family.
I work night shift 10pm till 6am, on my days off I sew from about 2am till 6 or 7 am. Other days I usually try to fit in an hour between 6 pm and 8pm. Really enjoying the tour!~
i sew all the time – morning noon and night shobbs@vcu.edu
I sew whenever the kids nap, and since one’s an infant and the other just turned 2, that doesn’t leave me much time when I’m not napping myself! Thanks for the giveaway!
Having fun with the tour – but it is cutting into my sewing time, which is usually between 8:30 and 11 at night.
I love Moda’s lines. I think any of these FQs would look great in the blocks I’ve seen showcased so far! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!!!
I either sew mid-day or in the evening… depends on what else is going on. Thanks for a chance to win!
Most of my sewing is done in the evenings, even some late at night. I am kind of a night owl but I also work during the day
so the evenings work best for me.
I sew when I can – after work, weekends. I get more done at retreats so I try to get away as often as possible.
I’ve been looking to find out where to get the past 100 Block Books/Magazines. I’ll look for this one on my news stand after the 15th. Always looking for new blocks.
I’m an early morning quilter for sure! However…on occassion will burn the midnight oil if I’m jazzed up to get a project done.
If I can get to my machine in the morning I generally have a productive sewing day. Too many distractions in the afternoon and although I always think I’ll be going again after supper, I don’t get in the groove as well as I use to. Although, when the genius hits, I can sew the clock around and love every second.
Since I retired, I sew all the time. I was sewing at 11PM last night and started againg this morning about 10AM. Have always loved sewing, but quilting is the BEST. I think I have 3 quilt tops that I am currently piecing and love them all. Thanks for the giveaway. The blog tour is a lot of fun.
As a former third shift worker, I find that I get the most done when I’m sewing in the middle of the night. It’s quiet, the phone’s not ringing and is just me and my machine. I’m currently not able to return to work due to medical condition so it akes no diference if I sew all night and sleep by day.
I am a late-night sewer, after the children are in bed. It is a good time to sew, but a bad time to take pictures.
I usually sew in the afternonn. After breakfast and before dinner.
I sew early in the morning on the weekend, or in the evenings on a work day.
I do my best sewing when I first get up in the morning, inspired and keen to plunge right in. Unfortunately I usually have to leave for work and that doesn’t happen. I don’t do too badly when I can have a block of three or four hours to concentrate on sewing, at any time.
I seem to get most of my sewing done during the evening, that doesn’t mean I don’t try during the day. There are just way less distractions during the evening.
I sew mainly on the weekends and not generally ever in the evening because I make mistakes when I’m tired…unsewing isn’t much fun :’)
Most of the time I sew later in the day- sometimes I get up and get started but mostly I start after lunch and sew well into the evening. Thanks for the chance to win such nice prizes- the magazine is sure to be a big hit.
Regards, Anna
I like to sew any time of the day or night, just depends on my work schedule.
I usually sew in the morning- when the light is the best.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I usually sew in the middle of the day, when there is good natural light.
During the week, I usually piece & quilt at night. On the weekends, I try to use every spare moment – from the time I’m up until I go to bed – for quilting!
If I do machine sewing, I always do it during the daytime. I like to sit and hand stitch as night when everyone else is watching the tv.
I usually sew when retired hubby leaves the house but he has been home too much lately. I think Moda is quality fabric.
I usually sew after I’ve been inspired by Quiltmakers new posts:)
I usually sew in the afternoons, while the toddlers are playing on the computer, since my sewing room and computer room are the same room. Most usually, though, after the little guys are in bed for a few hours of “me” time.
Thanks for opportunities to win!
Just beginning to learn to quilt and love the fabrics, ideas, and instructions and etc from Quiltmaker! Loving every minute of it and counting the days until I retire to do it full time! !
My time to sew is in the evening and on the weekend. It relaxes me after work and I find myself sometimes getting too involved in a quilt and relize it’s almost midnight. Thanks for the chance!
I usually get to my sewing machine at about 10 a.m. I love it, the morning rituals are done and it is time to relax. I look forward to seeing all the blocks on this tour. Thanks so much
I love to sew in the evenings (except on dark fabrics). But for the most part, I sew in spurts during the day between toddler activities.
Late at night, after others are asleep, is when I often sew. Early morning is the other best option for most days.
I am a nite owl. I sew most anytime but almost always after 7 pm to 2 or 3 pm
I sew any time I want to!!! It is my therapy after losing my husband.
Evening after dinner.
I love the yoyo block. I keep checking the store, but the magazine has not hit the stores here yet.
I usually sew in the mornings and early afternoon. I’d really like to do my quilting in the late evening hours, but the rest of my household would take offense at the noise. Love the basket of fabrics!
I usually sew in the morning, however, I love to sew anytime of the day.
I sew all day long. I am lucky to have a large sewing area so I have my “stuff” all over the place and can just pick up and sew where ever I left off on my latest project. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.
Sewing is my relaxation after a stressful day at work.
I like to hand sew, either hand quilting or hand applique while watching TV, that can be any time of day. If I am doing piecing on my machine it is usually in the afternoon. Any time of day is a great time for quilting.
