Do you think you could get tired of quilting?

I think I will never get tired of quilting. There are so many colors I want to make a quilt with, so many patterns I want to try, so many shows I want to enter - for me it is more than a hobby, it's a passion and obsession - and also a mission.

I get tired of my silly mistakes rather than quilting as I'm still learning. Some days I'm so pleased (like a day last week when I finally 'mastered' binding), then I make a daft boo boo (made a kindle cover yesterday with beautiful binding but the damn thing was too small!!!).
Oh well, it keeps the brain cells active.

I have been quilting for over 40 years and have been retired for 7 years. I do my patchwork and quilting on a daily basis. I get cross if I am interupted for pointless things like making meals and cleaning. I LOVE quilting and piecing and I will never get tired of it. My hands don't work as well as they did but I carry on as best I can.
Hope you all have a lovely holiday and a happy and healthy new year.

I totally agree! I sometimes get tired of a specific project, but I put it aside and start another. Isn't that the reason for UFO's. I do same with knitting. I like having a variety of choices to work on.

I used to knit and crochet but I have almost put that totally down for quilting. I couldn't see myself ever getting tired of quilting. What about you?

Never!!!! I'm retired and I love to sit down at my sewing machine and play!! I always have several projects going on at the same time, so I'm never bored. I figured out that for me, having something new to work on, allows me to finish other projects. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't do something with quilting. Looking at patterns, finding new patterns, adding a new project to my already long list of projects is pure fun for me!

No way!!! I've been quilting for 44 years and I still find it challenging. So many new ideas to explore. Dying, painting, embellishing, etc, etc. I've even used tyvek, which I held an iron over (about an inch above it) and made it bubble. Then painted it like rocks and attached to a wall piece. The color combination's are never ending too.
