Since I've become a quilter...
1) I've transformed my craft room into my quilting studio
2) Don't mind thread being on the studio floor
3) DH has gotten involved in searching for tools and displays for me (us)
4) Taken my DH over to what he calls the "Dark Side" (He's been to two quilt shows!)
5) Look at clothes and think that fabric would look good in a quilt
6) Started a business
7) Transformed our den into Quilter's Pantry (Longarm Business)
8) Hired a web designer to create our web site for the biz
9) Made some great friends here on the board and elsewhere that I never would have known about
10) Worry less about the house being spotless.
