In my world if you're not capable of cooking yourself a meal and doing a load of laundry by the time you're 12 you can go naked and starve.
I'm with you Scissor Queen.
And, I live alone so housework and cooking are done at my leisure, if at all.
I drive r/t 70 miles every Wednesday and many Thursdays to sit at my machine in a friend's quilt shop in Newport, NH
with 4-5 other quilters. We talk, share, learn and sew away.
Having just found a couple of quilters who want a local group, am starting a new Tuesday group here in Keene at the local library.
I get alot done sewing elsewhere with others.
At home I seem to find other things to do in my quilt room - sort or fondle fabric, look at quilt books, reorganize the room, cut squares in various sizes, count how many I have - apparently anything to avoid sewing.
