Here’s a little list I put together when I was supposed to be working. Ah, well.
You might be a quilter if…
-
ONE of your sewing machines is worth more than your car.
-
You spent more on your stash last year than you did on groceries.
-
Your husband does most of the cooking and you eat it.
-
When you moved your quilting magazine collection, the sag in the floor went away.
-
Your children see you outside your sewing room and yell “Stranger! Stranger!”.
-
The last time you ate at the dining room table was when you finished packing for quilt camp.
-
Your sewing room walls color coordinate with the buttons on your sewing machine.
-
You can design a quilt, calculate the yardage, and teach others how to make it but can’t help your child with math homework.
-
You have more UFOs than you have had birthdays.
And finally…
10. You talked your husband into a time share in Paducah because it would be cheaper.
Please feel free to add to this list if you can think of any other “You might be a quilter if…”

This is hilarious! I think I’m a quilter! My husband does all the work and we never eat on the dining room table as it’s full of bolts of fabric!

These are great! Came up with some but I promise I didn’t steal the idea from you. Your’s are really good. I guess Jeff will know where to go if his writers go on strike again, haha. (I am sure he writes all his own stuff) I especially like number 1 because it’s probably true and number 3 is REALLy true for me! Great stuff!

Isn’t it great! “Great Minds Think Alike” should be changed to “Great Quilters Think Alike” or some such. When I saw your post I had to laugh, too. And it is great that we did not duplicate any!! Jen

Some more to add to the list compliments of Rachel:
1. you’re always in fabric departments of stores
2. you never let any one buy a store bought quilt – instead you make them
3. you don’t throw away any scraps
4. your fingers are swollen from quilting
5. you have fabric up to your ears
