Smile You Know You Are a Quilter When....

...the license plate of the car in front of you begins with the letters HST and immediately your mind says
Half Square Triangle.

My husband got me a personalized plate for my car that reads quiltqn I also have a sign in my sewing room that says quilt queen. He is a keeper.

Most of the quilt related plates around my area are owned by friends! Most are vanity plates. I used to have a plate that was ### VTG - all I could think of was "voting". Have considered getting a vanity plate, but haven't decided what I want to put on it!

ILoveToQuilt, I see VTG as "vintage" which can also be interpreted as quilting-related.

If I were to get a vanity plate, I would want "FT QTR", 'cause try as I might, it's hard for me to resist them.

You know you are a quilter when you see patterns in things around you and you wonder how they would look in a quilt..
You know you are a quilter when you realize that if your car gets lost in a snowstorm that you can survive wrapping yourself in the bolts of fabric that are with you.

You know you are a quilter when the policeman asks, "Do you have any weapons with you?" you have to consider all the cutting tools.

I agree with you. I look at flooring or carpets and see a fun quilt pattern to do! Scary isn't it that our minds are so affected by our quilting habit. But it is fun.
