Your husband is picking thread out of your hair as you are walking into a store!

...you find yourself thinking that working is sure cutting into your quilting time.

...you go to sleep planning your next quilt.

You grab your phone to take pictures !

You look at everything, with the question will this work into a quilt, quilt design, etc.

Ask yourself, how can I repurpose this for a quilt or my quilting tools and studio?

You know your a quilter when perfect strangers walk up to you and ask if your a quilter. Then when they walk away you realize you have thread from the fabric all over the front of your shirt.

...you keep a sketch book beside your bed because you wake up in the middle of the night with quilt designs in your head and you don't want to forget them.

I knew I was a quilter when I was drizzling icing on a top of a cake and I was stippling. Because I almost crossed over a line and started to freak.
