I too have been toying with the idea of selling my black mid-size grand for years. I've had it for twenty seven years and it is still in mint condition. If I sell it than I will probably miss it not being in my living room since it is only a decorative piece as I cannot play anymore due to arthritis. However, my grandchildren like to tinker with it and that makes me happy. Good luck on your decision.

Your right it must be in the fabric.
Maybe you can use the piano for a quilting tool, got to be some way to do it. Lots of storage space under it. How about as a quilt display?
I tried doing some crochet that I had loved for years but just could not finish it, quilting has me hooked.

I have the bug too and sometimes my husband hates it. I have to really fight the bug in the summer. Unless I have a project that has to get done I don't quilt in the summer. My husband and I do our "other" hobby in the summer. We have "show cars" and go to several car shows during the summer. We always have a blast and my husband takes me to every quilt shop along the way.

I agree Don't Sell the piano. I did ceramics, copper tooling, leather tooling, copper enameling and still have all my "stuff" to do it. I do my quilting in my studio where all this is, pieceing is done in my wreak-room, thus called because it is always a wreak. But when I do go to the studio to quilt I miss the other and will do more sometime. Only problem I have is the supplier I did business with for my ceramic supplies has closed. So when I use up what I have I don't know what I will do. But with all the quilts I have to do that will be awhile yet.

As posted on another subject, I sometimes all I do is quilt for months on end and then "hit a wall" and don't feel like doing it any more. I then turn to other things I enjoy -- one or another kind of embroidery, crocheting, reading, writing, putting photo albums together (the old-fashioned way!). Please don't sell your piano!

I have been toying with the idea of selling my piano (I've been playing for 45 years) and I just walked by it and made up my mind-yes I wil sell it, I never play it because all I want to do is quilt! So what happens that quilting becomes so all consuming?? Is there a "Q" in our DNA?,do Janome, Phaff, Bernina, and Viking find out where we live and put something in the water?? Are they in cahoots with Joanns, Connecting Threads, and Fabric. com?? :?: What do you think? :-D :-D :-D
All of the above!
