Ughh...the house is a wreck, and my quilt that I'm in the middle of making is just calling my name!

Or I could just stay on here and don't do either one, LOL!

Which would you choose: Clean the house or sew the quilt?

I would do a quick pick up around the house then do the sewing. Atleast I could say I did something other than quilting.

I'm in the same boat and it is going to be HOT today. So while it is cool I really need to get something done other than be on here. ;-)

I am back and forth all of the time, computer, sewing room, kitchen cleaning and a snack, have to keep my strength up, you know!

YAY someone after my own heart, I do a little of this and a little of that and hope by the end of the day it looks like I did something.

What is the most glaring thing that needs to be done? It usually is the dishes....so I get them done and do a 'lick and a promise' for the other things. Quilting is productive, and there is a permanent reminder of your work. The house ALWAYS has dishes, needs vacuuming....

Definitely quilting wins. If someone shows up and sees the dust, I tell them I put it there on purpose.

Quick pick up and then quilt - I'm having the same decision right now. I will read a little more and then get started.
