I wish we could even each other out! I'm the opposite. My sewing area is always messy, my machines are rarely oiled. I have to set the timer to get up and do work or housework. I set the timer for 15 mins. and do a chore, I set it again for 15 mins and do another chore, then I set it for 15 mins and get to quilt - my reward! On the rare occasion that I do not feel like quilting I look for a quilt show or go to a local quilt shop to get my creative juices going again.
