I'd rather sew than clean, and someday it will be my payback for my kids for all the times they didn't tidy their rooms when they were teens. :D

I make such a mess when I'm cleaning!

I'm through explaining to my husband why I need a room to myself for quilting. I'm demonstrating the need.

These are all great "reasons" & most apply to my sewing room. 1 more for me is that the bins of fabric against the outside walls is great insulation in the winter. :thumbup:

Yikes, Patrice...when did you do that? Having done that a few years ago, I know how frustrating and limiting it is when you have stairs. I hope you are on the mend quickly.

I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s excuses...my sewing room is usually cleaner than other parts of my house. I have to admit I’m a little OCD.

I'm waiting for my friend to come over to help me clean.
When cleaning I find items I've been looking for and start working on them and cleaning stops

I need a bigger room!

I have the same problem.

*giggles*
With each of your posts, I am thinking oh there's me .... and then there's me again!
Then when I think I have seen "the best" .... another "the best", shows up!
You're all just too darned creative with your excuses!!! :)

Rotten excuse, because of the circumstances. Time to send your husband up with a mission to mess the main floor of your home!!!!! :)



Dunster ... perhaps you want to borrow this quote?
I did it as an embroidered mini quilt a year ago.
My thoughts were that it would give me permission
while advising any visitors to take heed! :)

LeonF ... you have given me way too many visualizations.
You really should do a series of quilty cartoons based on those
Put them on fabric and you would be a best seller, for sure!!! :D
