my house is sorta cleaned up and the laundry caught up, OR i make quilts.
not both.
last week my house was cleaned up.
this week i’m gonna quilt (i hope!)
For years I've dreamed of writing a book about quilting. The type of book that I've felt is completely missing from the quilting world. More photos and inspiration, and less technical details and pages of writing. I've tried to accomplish that with my first book, which is self published and full of quilts, simple patterns, lots of talk about the quilts... and well, maybe that's enough for this paragraph! Visit the blog post for more details!
NOTE! My book is now available on Amazon as well!

Please do! Housework and laundry are so overrated!

I hear ya! My housework and quilt progress are inversely proportional, too.

Sounds familiar. I start every day with good intentions of doing the "important" things first and sewing after, but it never ends up that way!
Rachel at Stitched in Color says
It's funny, but I'll confess that I've been feeling quite the opposite. I think I actually planned to clean, not sew for one day? Weird. Maybe I'm sick?
Toni says
Glad to hear it's not just me!!
laura says

Hoola Tallulah says
I have enlisted the hubble to do a weekly top to bottom clean with me, if we do it together it takes just over 2 hours of our saturday morning, and bam, weekend of sewing time!

Goog luck quilting! I think it's easier sew when the house isn't a mess…sooo I clean to.

I was thinking yesterday I hadn't seen a post from you for a while and here it is! A balance between housework and quilting is a good thing!
Gigi's Thimble says

Erin @ Why Not Sew? Quilts says
I was just thinking the same thing as I was coming downstairs from my sewing room and looking at my living room that seems as though a tornado hit it.
Live a Colorful Life says
Housework does not stay "done." I vote for sewing!
