EEK! Quilting Is #1 in What's Important In My Life
#1
It has just hit me like a ton of bricks that I arrange everything in my life (if possible) around quilting. I do my housework (minimal) and yardwork (weather permitting) and shopping (yuk!), tend to the dog and the sickly husband, but it's all irritating stuff to get over with so I can get back to some aspect of quilting. I choose machine embroidery designs strictly for incorporating into quilts. My favorite DVD is about long arm quilting machines, my favorite computer inbox messages are from this QB. ALL my "wish list" items are sewing related.
So I have to ask myself, "Is quilting my therapy or do I need therapy?" From reading postings on this QB, I think I'm not the only one in this boat!

Quilting is fun for me so I devote a lot of time to it. I have no small children and DH is an adult who is capable of making a sandwich and finding the laundry room himself. I can't imagine not quilting. My sister in law made a comment about how many hours I spent in my sewing room when I could be out volunteering for the food kitchen. Let's just say she left in a huff and has never mentioned my volunteering again. No one puts down my DH, kids, pets, or my quilting in that order. LOL

okay, group therapy session #1 is starting!!! i don't think we have any quilting problems(#1 denial)!! if i don't get to do any quilting or related quilting i get very sad(#2 depression, saddness) if someone messes with my quilting or my stash I get very (#3 angry). my stash is getting rather large, i won't buy anymore until half of it is used up. i won't go to the LQS or buy anymore magazines until i've finished 10 quilts(#4 bargaining). Oh hell, who am I kidding, quilting is my life and i'm going to do everything quilting and shop until i drop because my stash can never get too low!! Who cares about the housework and laundry, it just gets dirty 5 minutes later anyhow!! (#5 ACCEPTANCE)!!!!! Let's accept our addiction and be happy!!!!
