    How about when you pre-vacuum the sewing room with a hair brush so you don't have to spend half an hour freeing up the beater bar on the vacuum?

    How about thinking of the prices of everything in terms of how much fabric you could buy. Do you know how much fabric I could get for what that steak dinner cost???

    Your dogs are wearing quilted collars and sleep in quiolted beds with little quilts on top for cold weather. DH says forget it no matter how cold he won't wear quilted underwear.

    When you go to the grocery store with your scissors hanging from your neck. It's happened to me a few times.

    There is NO recovery, NO cure, NO getting away.
    All quilting retreats are for MORE quilting, not therapy to get over it.
    Au contrare, (sp) just go to the nearest quilt shop!!! :lol:
