Since I became a quilter...
My son thinks the TV always has that "sewing machine" sound on it.
We eat a lot of "overdone" dinners, mostly the all-in-one pot oven dinners.
I balance my chequebook around my quilting budget.
More friends are asking "can you fix this?" like coat zippers....
My son has learned that a side trip to a fabric store means "bring a book"
My dining room table is my cutting/sewing/measuring station, complete with boxes of "stash" stacked beside it.
My mother knows to phone before she comes over.
I have evicted my son from half of the basement to put in a 10' quilting frame.
Three grand for a sewing machine sounds reasonable!
I'm not afraid to adjust my machine tension anymore.
I've learned that "show and tell" isn't just for Kindergarten anymore!!!
