I can quilt even with a messy house, but it bugs me. I start to feel stressed the messier the house gets, so I try not to let it get too bad. Generally speaking I do a nice thorough clean once a week (usually after our weekend) and try to keep up with the dishes and laundry until then.
I will say, as much as I dread doing all the cleaning, once I get started it's not so bad. Just gotta get in gear. Then once it's finished, I feel fantastic and very peaceful, lol.

I work full time and always clean on Friday nights. I keep the house picked up as much as possible during the week, but I want the weekends to do anything I want to. If I decide to go to Vegas thats an all day trip which leaves me 1 day off before going back to work. I hate a dirty house. I make sure everything is done before I get me time. The older I get the worse it seems to get. I do drive my Husband nuts sometimes. Now my Sister is a differen't story. She just looks at it and puts it off for the next day. :roll:

I used to be that way when my kids were little and my DH worked nights. I never got any sewing or quilting done. I couldn't sit still at my machine if anything was left undone. Thankfully I grew out of it! "The only time that housework comes before quilting is in the dictionary".

A wise woman once told me : House work is your best friend. It will always wait for you and never start without you.
My house is a mess, my sewing room is tidy. Got to have priorities - right?

I think it all depends. If I am in a quilting mood, then I will quilt all day, and the housework does not get done. Other days I have to get the house clean because I can't stand the mess anymore. There is not just one way or the other for me. I can sew in the evenings now since my new janome is so much more quieter than my singer. that helps when I get the urge to sew.
