"The only place housework comes before quilting is in the dictionary." I have an embroidery design that says that and I take it literally.

Now what is the use of cleaning house before quilting? You know you want to vacuum AFTER sewing.

Here is how I think about it....on my deathbed, am I gonna say...."gee, I wish I had cleaned house more"...OR...gee, I wish I had quilted more....hmmm? There is your answer! Of course, occasionally, the house has to be cleaned...dog gone it!

I know exactly what you mean! I am working on several UFOs and trying to finish one a week. A clean house doesn't even begin to compare to the feeling of accomplishment there!

I say do a little of both! Do the house work first THEN go quilt or else the housework may never get done. lol

I take a minute to load the dishwasher, than speed thru the bathrooms, the dust bunnies can wait!! All of that takes 5 minutes than on to the sewing room unless hubby needs me in the shop.
