That is so true & you described it perfectly! I am blessed because my hubby & I just graze for dinner. I'm a vegetarian & he's working on it since his quadruple bypass a few years ago. Even then, he does most of the cooking which works for the both of us. He likes to cook & I clean up! :)

I think keeping a bf or dh well fed is a good idea. They seem to care less about our quilting when they are well fed. I like the crock pot idea too, and big pots of soup or hearty casseroles for winter so we can get more than one meal out of it (and they often turn out to be less expensive to prepare so there is more money to move from the grocery budget to the fabric budget!!)
Enjoy your new addiction. You are among friends, and it could be worse!

Start looking for rooms in church basements with the sign "QA" on the door (Quilters' Anonymous). The meetings are free, there's lots of coffee to drink, and weary-eyed women present. The meeting will begin with the Serenity Prayer and someone will open with, "Hi, my name is Judy. I'm a fabric addict." The group will respond with, "Hi Judy." If you're like me, you will run out of the room and when you get back home you will jump in the middle of your stash laughing hysterically saying, "I'm not ready yet. I haven't hit bottom." And you will begin pulling coordinating scraps of fabric out of your pile and begin yet another project. Good luck with your recovery!

My name is Rachael, and I'm an addict. :)

That's it. I'm not in recovery or plan to be...

I can't do it at night though...way too tired!

My husband just walked out the door to go to the Woodcraft Store. This is SO good for 2 reasons--I am home alone to sew uninterrupted AND the more money he spends there, the more money I get to spend on my quilting habit!!! :)

Welcome to the club, my dear! It's a fun one!!!

When I got burned out quilting I bought an embroidery machine. Now that I'm getting burned out on that, I'm back to quilting!
