I quilt because I enjoy it. There is nothing about quilting that I don't like. I love hand sewing the binding to the back. As far as cleaning, I believe everyone has their own idea of clean. I have a friend that I swear never uses anything in her house, it is so pristine. My house is lived in, but I do vacuum, dust, mop floors and clean bathrooms! I love my "things" and am not ready/willing to downsize or purge yet. My friend says my house looks like a museum, and loves coming here because of all the cool stuff. I display two signs. One says "My house was clean last week, sorry you missed it", and the other says "You can write in the dust, just don't date it."
