When every man you see who is wearing a tie, captures your eye (the tie, not the man). Some of those geometric prints are so beautiful.

You are lying back in a dentists chair and trying to figure out out to reproduce the lights and shadows of the ceiling tiles to create a quilt.

My DH is looking at homes on the Internet. When he sees a quilt in one of the pictures he always calls me to come in and look at it. Amazing how many homes have quilts on their beds.

When someone says "What nice points" you take it as a compliment.

You impress people with your ability to know the dimensions of something without a ruler.

Lori, this is funny...Think about being in an airplane and seeing a design in the lawn or field below....has to make you think was that a "woman designing a quilt" or "man designing a path for a race track for his kids with ATV's ( Have seen it several times and it makes me smile) I love the smiley face ones!
