Since I became a quilter,I realize I wasted a lot of yrs before I started quilting.
Since I became a quilter, it's taken over my life.Knitting,crochet,sewing clothes,craftwork stuff given away.Magazines & books are all about quilting.
Since I became a quilter, I spend way too much time saving pics,patterns,hints & tips from this board.......& too much time learning from some of the nicest ppl anywhere.
Since I became a quilter, the UPS truck turning in the driveway makes my heart go pitter patter!

Since I've become a quilter, I've developed lots more patience for my skills;
My color choices are much broader and exciting;
My knowledge of sewing has increased a thousand fold;
I'm much more content to just let the world's problems pass by.

Since I became a quilter..... I cannot open my closet doors without getting hit by a bolt or stack of fabric.
......Dust bunnies play tag under my bed...... There are enough threads on my carpet to weave enough material to make another quilt.......My butt is getting bigger and bigger because I can't find an easy way to quilt standing up........I'm losing my edge on being the best cook in the world because I'm doing less and less of it. I'm going to have to get a bigger mailbox because the maillady is tired of getting out of her truck and scrambling up the hill with an armload of packages....My DH will no longer carry out the trash because he just has to sew one more row.... My new book has only 1/2 of a chapter done and I'll have to re-read it myself to find out what is going on.....Since I have become a quilter..... my life is fuller and richer because I have found this place and met so many nice folks here..... Yes, since I am a quilter now...I'm a better person.

We all sound alike and don't wa love it. The silly things that I would worry about; cleaning house, cooking, (I am a person who lived with housedresses, preserving foods, home cooking, etc, etc. I am much more happier than ever. Today if the tables are dusty, I write myself notes in the dust; mostly "I love me". I am more content, no longer lonely with this site (love it), meeting more people outside my home. I could go on but I will end this by saying. I am so glad to be a part of a community that does so much for each of us. Goodness, Thank you.

Since I am a new beginner quilter I love fabric and go to any quilt store I can. I never have enough color. My house has lots of dust bunnys and I have to excuse myself from the dinner table to get back to my studio. I dream of fabric, fabric and easy patterns.
