Washing dishes by hand! (I really hate drying, though, so I use my dishwasher.)
Jodi
Uh, okay, okay! I LOVE to clean the toilet! NOT! I don't have a favorite chore!
Brita
Favorite household chore?! You're so silly 🙂 Actually, folding laundry is soothing to me — must be the stroking fabrics thing!!! Very nice giveaway 😀
shez
I dont really have a favourite house chore ,lol,but the one i enjoy the most would be vacuming as it is quick and the carpet always looks great when you have finished,lol.
Cathy (aka CrafteeCC)
I actually enjoy housework, now that I am home and have time to do it ;-), but my fave has to be ironing and putting the clothes away – seeing the empty clothes basket is such a good feeling 😉
Jodi-JoJoMia's Place
Hmmmmm….favorite chore…..that is a hard one. Does washing and ironing fabric count?? I guess laundry is probably my next favorite but I don't iron clothes! 🙂
Joy
Delegating!!!!!
Sorry, that's all I could think of lol, I really hate housework ;o).
Hugs,
Joy :o)
Natasha
Favorite! Not laundry! I like to organize and throw things away.
Tiffany
A favorite chore? Are you kidding me? I love all those completed by my husband while I'm out 😉 haha. Walking the dog, if that counts, i like that one! 😀
Sallie
Making the bed. Thanks for the giveaway!
Karen
My favourite is pushing the button on the dishwasher! Works well for me!
Deborah in Atlanta
My favorite household chore? I don't have one. In fact, my favorite saying is, "Why do housework? Six months later you have to do it again!"
Okay, okay, if I have to pick one it would be dusting. It cleans my furniture off like a chalkboard eraser so I have a nice clean surface to draw on when it gets dusty again.
Pam
I don't have any favorite household chores, but the one I mind the least is emptying the dishwasher.
thedukesau
Favourite chore? Does encouraging my teenager to do his chores count? Washing up .. would be my choice

Putting things away after the weekend. Things get a bit higgeldy piggeldy over the weekend and I like the feeling of 'getting the house back' on Monday. I love the lived in look…until I can't see the kitchen table any more lol. VermontPines@aol.com

Hands down it is laundry. Especially when I can hang it outside. But inside is good too & even coming from the dryer I just love to do laundry & fold all those nice clean, good smelling things! Nice giveaway. Thanks.
Rachel D
If I had to pick one, it would be turning on the dishwasher (ha)! Thanks for the giveaway!
Lisa Marie
Well, laundry is good because you can sew while you wait. And cooking is good because it's nice to have something to eat. But really, a favorite? They're called CHORES for a reason.
sunny
Hmmmm…..favorite household chore. I guess washing dishes would be the lesser of all evils. I get instant gratification!
Hope
I love ironing sheets – the smell is what does it mainly. I just love the smell of ironed sheets 🙂
Barbara
vacuuming – instant results look great !
beautiful fabrics !
elliek
not many people have favourite chores and I agree. Housework.. dirty word. I like it when I have done the ironing!
Sharon T
Ironing. I love the smell!
Our Busy Little Bunch

I love to iron. Thanks.

I love vacuuming. And I love what the floor looks like when you are done 🙂 All those lines in the carpet! So clean!
PR
Making cookies, of course. Someone has to do it!
Sarah Craig
Please don't tell my husband this, but I think my favorite chore is making the bed. I never used to make it when I was a kid, but when I got married, it was the one thing that my hubby really insisted get done every day – he couldn't sleep in an unmade bed! Well, over the years, I've really learned to enjoy the thrill of a freshly made bed! Oh, and I really love vacuuming since I got my Dyson……
sue
I love to iron! Vacuuming would be a close second.
Manda
Favourite chore?! Hoovering I guess …
Mommarock
Dessert quality control coordinator. Gotta make sure it is okay for the family… LOL. Oh a real chore.. hmm Vacuuming. I like making the patterns in the carpet.. weird I know.
Glenys
I would say washing the dishes. Super fun and I like the sound of the water flowing.
Linda Crosby
I would have to say that vacuming is my 1st pick as I find the sound rather soothing. Thank you..lindacrosby(at)hotmail(dot)com
ferne
I'm a duster, it gives me a chance to touch my things and reorganize.
The Malko's
My favorite household chore is cleaning the kitchen… I feel like having a clean kitchen makes or breaks your home! I find it theraputic!

Kat
Emptying a clean dishwasher. Not so much on reloading, though. Eww gunky food. 🙂
Quiltpecan/Angela
I guess I'm not alone when I say…. not one is my favorite. I don't mind the laundry. Guess it is one I could list. Though I hate actually putting it all up. Weird huh!! LOL Thanks for the cool fabric giveaway. Glad I found your site!
D-House
I like folding laundry and washing dishes by hand… but I hate putting away laundry and putting away dry dishes! What is that all about? Maybe because my cupboards and drawers are usually unorganized 🙁
Anyways, that fabric is making me swoon and I would love to win it!
SewLindaAnn
My fave chore is laundry. Especially if the house is a mess, it makes me feel like I've accomplished something.
Mary on Lake Pulaski
I love washing the inside windows overlooking the lake. Lots of break time seeing who is water skiing or boating!
jennifer
I like to wash dishes. Thanks for the giveaway:)
Kim
I really don't like cleaning at all. I have a wonderful family that splits up the responsibilities. I occasionally hand wash the dishes even though we have a dishwasher and ironing is my responsibility
elizabeth
I am blessed to have some help every Friday afternoon to clean my house. I enjoy putting my sheets in the washer knowing these sweet helpers will make my bed : ) I sleep so well every Friday night!
Katrina
I really like cleaning my bathrooms. I can do it pretty fast with my system, and it soooo rewarding when I am done.
Jo
OK I'll admit it I really enjoy laundry especially the folding part!
stitchernow
I like doing laundry. It is a critical task with tangible results and includes lots of break tim
Susan
If you count cooking as a household chore I'd have to say cooking. If not I'd have to say grocery shopping although I don't like putting away the groceries. I always get more than the pantry will hold.
Catskill Quilter
My favorite chore is making the bed.
Deanna
Most household chores are, in their own way, soothing and produce immediate results. But, favorite would probably be vacuuming. It is the one chore I nearly never assign the children.
Modern Male Homemaker
I love hand washing dishes! I work through a lot of problem solving while washing them. Alas, now that we have a dishwasher I find myself only washing pans and knives so most of my problem solving as of late has been trying not to drop them on my feet!
Jenniffier
I don't like any household chores! The closest thing to a household chore I like is watering the garden.
Barbara
Well, I do love cooking. Does that count?
Jessica
I love this fabric, it is in my etsy favourites!
I actually love hanging out the washing! I have a system!
Sunnybec
Favourite chore?? Did you say favourite??? does anyone really like cleaning??? I hate it, and I have holiday accommodation and I have to clean that too and that's worse cleaning after other people, now look, you have made me rant…LOL. Okay if I must pick something, I would say hanging the washing out because it always smells so nice straight out of the machine. Linda
Kate-Show and Tell
Making the bed! Because when it is done I can spread a nice warm homemade quilt over the top….. Yep that would have to be my favourite…..
vivke
I like ironing, especially menshirts!
Thanks for the give away and greetings from Belgium
Karen Wilson
I've always had a thing for ironing… I guess because I can pretend that I'm doing sewing related ironing 😉
Oh and now that we have a Roomba the vacuuming is fun too!
Lucky-1
Love ironing as I can do this in front of the TV:)
Michell
Favourite household chore would have to be pushing the start button on my dishwasher…lol

My favorite chore is doing laundry. 🙂
sydneykatt
My favorite household chore, unloading the clean dishes from the dishwasher and putting them away : ) Thanks for entering me in give-away!
Fiona@BubzRugz
Oh my goodness…. is there such a thing??? I don't mind cooking… but only because I like food and eating!!
Hugz
Rainy
I would have to say its making the beds. Making the sheets nice and straight and wrine free, knowing how nice it will feel to get into that bed later that night.
Grey Cat
I love to steam my carpets and scrub the floors. When I've finished those steps, it means that I'm done with the major chores!!
anne
Chores are so boring compared to quilting but if I have to pick one it would be putting out the garbage….quick and easy.
Amorette
hanging out the laundry- its pretty relaxing, and nice to be outside.

Samelia's Mum
I don't think I have a favourite, but if you mean the one chore I dislike the least, it'd be vacuuming. I got a new Dyson recently and it's my toy 🙂
Luci
Sanitizing the kitchen counter. I like the feeling of bacteria going bye bye. lol
Jared, Christine, and The Boys
I like to organize stuff. Cleaning my kids rooms (they are very little) is fun because I have things so organized and everything has somewhere to go.
Peach Rainbow
I think I like them all only if I can get into the mood of doing ;D
Kathy Trevelion
Definitely anything to do wish my sewing machine – mending, sewing, fixing up hems, etc. Even turning sheets! I must be mad, but it is so satisfying. (Kathy Trevelion)
Paula
Ironing! It relaxes me and it is by far my favorite chore.
Thanks for the chance!

Karen
My favorite household chore is doing the laundry. I like the process off folding the clothes and making them neat and tidy. Sick, huh? Thanks!
Heather A
I typically despise housework but I sometimes thoroughly enjoy emptying cupboards and drawers, cleaning them and then reorganizing them. It's the librarian in me.
TheStylishHome
I would have to say, my top 3, in no particular order:
Vacuuming
Cleaning the Bathrooms
Cleaning the Kitchen
Dread them all until I've started, then I find them quite enjoyable, and the results are always the best!
Who can enjoy their day with dishes in the sink and crumbs on the counter?
KATE
Ironing is my favourite. Very nice giveaway! Thanks :))
Laura
I really don't like the "H" word. It gets in the way of my craft time. But if I had to pick something, I would say grocery shopping.
webmailaddress2
I like washing dishes, but my new favorite chore is mowing the lawn.
P. S. I love Anthology Fabrics!
Melissa @ Love Affair With My Brother
Is it weird that I like folding laundry?
Janet
I like washing dishes. I find it relaxing. Good thing too because I don't have a dishwasher – except for DH 🙂

Teresa Felgueiras
I like to iron my clothes, though it's a rather hot task to do in the Summer.
Viv
I really like cleaning the bathrooms….small space….quick job. I am an instant gratification kinda girl. Don't mind loading the dishwashereither but HATE unloading!
Michele
Favorite chore? Does cooking count? Otherwise…none.
skye
My favorite household chore is laundry. I do a lot of it, as I am a massage therapist, but whether it's for work or home, I like the ritual: wash, into dryer, fold while warm. Pile sheets & towels into functional & pretty stacks or hang shirts & pants while warm, & hang towels back in the bathroom. Sweet!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! 🙂
Lkekko
I love to Iron, Yep there aren't many of us left in the world…
Kathy Hamann
I would have to say vacuuming. It changes the cleanliness of a room very fast.
Kathy Hamann
Vacuuming is my favorite chore.I love how quick it makes a room seem cleaner.
Beeshebags
Not sure I would actually call it my favourite chore, but I do enjoy doing the washing! Great fabric. Hugs Naomi
Christine
I actually enjoy weeding the garden. It's my quiet time and I get to reap the benefits all spring and summer.
Christina
This confuses most people, but washing the diapers. It's the best kind of laundry: already sorted and doesn't need folding and you know it reallllly needs to be washed! OK maybe I don't want to win cuz you'll just post this comment and people will see that I'm insane.
Cynthia
My favorite chore is laundry. I have always loved the smell of freshly laundered clothes. 🙂 I have been bugging DH to make me a clothes line outside. That would make them just about pefect.
Please enter me in your drawing! Thank you!

Cynthia
Laundry. Weird I know…but the smell is great when they are all done. 🙂
Danielle
I love hanging laundry on the line. Next I like taking them down…sniiiiifffff….mmmmm…
jenna
lol, my fav chore is thinking about a list of things I can tell my husband I did during the day so he thinks I was busy.
Beth
In wintertime, it's polishing furniture. In summertime, hanging laundry on the line.

Sue
Favourite chore is cooking included, love cooking particularly desserts, or cake or pavlova
Melody
I know I am weird but I actually enjoy ironing, but I wouldn't like to do it for too long and I have to watch TV while doing it.
The Fam
Vacuuming! Instant gratification!

Michelle
My favorite household chore is folding clothes. LOVE it…just hate having to put the clothes away once I'm done 🙂
Little Bluebell (Adrianne)
I like watering my garden. : )
Sheila
My all time favorite chore is hanging the clothes on the line !
Cynthia L.
Oddly enough, I love cleaning the bathroom! I enjoy seeing the shine that is created! I also love the smell of Ajax!
Those fabrics are lovely!
Susie
Mine would have to washing clothes – it gives me a sense of satisfaction that I'm achieving something however it is actually cleaning itself and all I have to do is put it in the washing machine, add some soap and hang it on the line (and I get to go outside in the fresh air!) Thanks
Susie
Bev C
I quite enjoy hanging out the laundry, it has to be done a certain way. Don;t love ironing though.
Happy days.

Rose M.
When I didn't work outside of the home I didn't mind doing housework since I was a stay-at-home mom and that was my job! However, since I don't have time doing chores, I am going to cheat and say cooking is my favorite chore – I guess it would be considred a chore since it has to be done, right? I just wish I had a maid to wash the dishes or at last clean up the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher!LOL
Linda E in AZ
I am one of those vanishing people who loves to hang clothes out of doors. Whenever we have moved to a new house, the first thing I've had my husband do is put up clotheslines. In one case where this wasn't allowed, I used to tie up a line on wash day in our walled-in backyard where (hopefully) nobody could see it!
Jenna Z
I really like ironing! I usually only iron things like tablecloths, napkins and new fabric so I'm always ironing things I like! If I had to iron shirts and sheets, I'm sure I'd hate it!
Yvonne
When I wrote the question I thought, a favorite household chore!! Who want to have this! I do not. I do not like anything with housekeeping. I just want to sew, quilt, stitching. That is why a have a dishwasher, washingmachine. Hope to hear from you and thanks for this give-away.
Susan Murray
Sweeping! I sweep the kitchen floor several times and the rest of the houseat least once. If the floor is clean I fool myself into believeing the rest of the house is clean too 🙂 and I get a little exercise while doing it.
Melor Rahman
I would rather cook (or sewing hahaha) than do anything else! Pick me pick me!
Patty
That's hard, because I really don't know. But I guess it's washing the bed sheets because it's so nice to sleep on fresh smelling sheets.
