    There's more Fabric in the House than Food
    "Fat Quarters" are not the heaviest part of your body
    Your ironing board is always set up but you never iron clothes
    You think of your job as an interruption of your quilting time
    You pet Fabric
    People are always picking threads off you
    You can measure a scant 1/4 by eye
    "Featherweight" Doesn't mean Boxer
    Your "UFO's" are not from outer space
    You clean up your sewing room & they think you are leaving
    Just wanted to add a couple more:

    your seat cover is covered in threads
    your vac cleaner is full of thread
    you imagine quilt blocks from the shirts on the men in your office
    you think raining days are a blessing so you get more quilting time in


    You go on vacation and look at tile floor in fancy hotels as inspiration for your next quilt.
    When you watch Jeopardy and see the background design as a beautiful quilt!
    Instead of framing a photo you want to turn it into a quilted wall hanging,

    Guilty as charged. I lay awake working out patterns in my head and finally just get up and start sketching. Then I dream about designs all night.

    When you dream of new patterns in your sleep, and your worst nightmare is dreaming of all your quilts you have made are falling apart. YIKEESSS !!!!
