ok, I fib to my friends, when they call to say let's go to lunch, to the mall or costco my answer is oh sorry other plans, when it is really that i want to sew all day.....then i have to hide my car because i have one friend who drives by and checks ........ family have actually called the LQS to find me because i did not answer my cell. but, in my defense i never miss a chance to go to a quilt shop or shop hop or quilt show!
