My DH and I were measuring wallpaper and I said "Wait-add 1/2" for the seams."

I have just got out of hospital after having my gall bladder out. I was in the pre admission waiting area when I noticed that the lady next to me had a quilting magazine. We both forgot about the operation that we were about to have and were so deeply in conversation about quilts that they had to call my name 3 times before I realised. A good way to forget about nerves before op.

You look at fabric and a pattern to make yourself a blouse and decide the fabric would look better as a quilt. So you pass on the new blouse.

I was sitting in the lobby of an imaging center waiting to have a scan. I had been there most of the morning for a sonogram and subsequently they wanted to do a scan...right then. I knew there was something wrong because they were busy on the phone with a rush, rush call to my doc and insurance company (had to have three tumors removed...I'm great now)...and I ask the receptionist for a piece of paper so I could sketch the pattern in the floor tile. Made that block, too! Really like it!

Wow, glad you are well. I would probably be to nervous to think of something like that. I'll probably get a chuckle in the near future as I have a CT scan coming up the beginning of the month.

You know you're a quilter when you are walking around in the fabric store and the clerk asks if you need help with anything and you reply..."no, I just need to touch all the fabric". I actually said this a couple of weeks ago. The lady just backed away real slow and said,..."OK".

When you see a picture (any picture) and automatically start dividing it into blocks in your head.

I was just thinking that I see quilt patterns everywhere-floors,walls, windows

I check out what people are wearing and think if the patterns in the shirt, blouses and skirts would make for a good OBW!
