for over 40 years, i'm sewn garments. Then, i took my first quilting class two years ago. I made a small sampler in the class and three full size quilts since then. I think i'm developing the heart of of quilter. I'm becoming as obsessed about quilting as i am about garment sewing. Here's the evidence:
so, tell me, do real quilters do all these things?
- i recently took my two young nieces to barnes & noble. I went immediately to the needlework section and looked at more quilting books than sewing books. (of course, i already have dozens of sewing books)
- my nieces had to drag me away from the quilting magazines.
- i spend too much time online at sites like fat quarter shop and keepsake quilting looking at fabric.
- i search online for independent fabric stores and quilting shops to visit whenever i'm in a new place.
- i have more ideas than time (or skill) to carry them out.
- i'm planning quilts for the nieces mentioned above, even though they probably will have to wait years to get them. I'm also wondering who else i can give a quilt to.
so, tell me, do real quilters do all these things?

You are for sure a quilter, and isn't it grand? My friend and I have lunch every Monday, and I am always steering her to one quilt shop or another. We also hit Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Hancock's and any place else that has fabric, notions or anything quilt related. I never thought about Barnes and Noble, but think we may just have to check that out tomorrow. Thanks for the information.
