i have no friends that quilt. In fact, I don't think any of my friends have hobbies. How do they go through life without any distractions?? I have to have an escape.

I am in the same situation as you. I would like to have someone to quilt with and talk about fabric and stuff, which is why I joined the board. It at least fills the talking part. None of my firends have hobbies either, I don't know what they do with their time.

Love the colors on your quilt
Everyone is different and have different likes and dislikes in life, that's ok. It lets them be who they are.

I was just talking to a friend about his lady friend-she's a teacher and under a lot of stress right now, due to all the politics and I asked why she didn't retire last year when they offered an incentive? Among other things, he said she has nothing to do if she retires-doesn't even mow her own lawn, and she'd die of boredom. I took the incentive and can't find enough time to deal with all of my projects, even so! Can't imagine life without lots of hobbies and interests!

I like to have something to do when I watch TV whether it be crocheting or x stitch.

That's a really cute quilt!!! I don't know about other people but I have enough hobbies for many! haha
Of course quilting is at the top of my list :D

I know, me too! So many I forget them, or cover them up with something else. But such a fun surprise when I come across something I forgot I bought. Sometimes I have bought two!! Shame on me.

Ditto on above comments...I have a crochet group but no one quilts. When I go on vacation with my SIL she dragged herself into the QS stayed all of 20 seconds and said I can't believe you find looking at fabric interesting...She left and sat in the car while I rushed thru to find fabric. I could have spent 2 hrs there but needless to say since she was sitting in the car alittle annoyed I cut it short and was out within 20 mins...Won't take her out again and just go by myself next time.
Non quilters just don't get it.

Count me in the "way to many hobbies" category...

I can't WAIT to retire...
