    And on a hopeful note, aside from the addiction you have entered a world where you will stare in wonder at what you have created when two pieces of fabric come together and meet with another. You will understand that creativity is actually a facet of God and quilting brings you into a sisterhood that has been working with fabric or skins or felt or whatever it could get it's hands on for hundreds of years. You'll find yourself thinking of others and how they might like what you do and you'll be first in line to offer what you have to a fellow quilter in need. It's a lovely addiction to have. Welcome.

    If this is an addiction/obsession..
    there sure are a lot worse things to focus all that energy on!

    Even if you find yourself whipping out your cell phone to take pictures of stones in walkways or extreme close up pictures of Spaceship Earth at Epcot because you think it would make a pretty cool quilt.

    P.S. I have never done this. *snicker*

    At least this addiction produces works of art & usefulness. Many addictions are only destructive. (At least that's what I told my deer hunting husband (when he made a grouchy comment). :)

    Just like a chronic disease huh. Of course if I would spend as much time quilting as I do on this board I could get a lot more done. lol
