Yes, it is a woman thing :roll: We were taught by our mothers that we are supposed to be "housekeepers" and everything should be clean and tidy all the time. My mother didn't quilt but did sew everything we wore, curtains, everything. Quilting now is looked at as a "pasttime" or hobby so we feel guilty that we aren't doing the household things. To me it is important to feed the soul, and for me that is sewing and quilting. Our families wouldn't be very happy to live with us if we were just a drudge.
