And in return for our hobby, we get a lasting treasure to either enjoy or give away. Much of other past times result in zero to show for it. As for exercise, the average person walks several miles a day just doing routine things. Because we quilt doesn't mean we are total couch potatoes. Geeze!

My quilt guild asked me to be the featured quillter for our upcoming show (Oct. 2nd and 3rd) IN my efforts to complete 30 quilts for the show, I have given up a summer of golf. Next summer, I'm not going near my sewing machine!

:D :D :D
But I understand that kinda puts the pressure on quilting and takes the fun out of it unless you like being under the gun to get things done I know some people work better under this pressure. Not me I make more mistakes

I am hard pressed to think of what I've 'given up'. Quilting is more of a giving thing so I've not given up anything. I've always been a lousy house keeper, clutter does not bother me. Now I am out in my 'sudio' as my sweet sister calls it and so even more, the clutter in the house doesn't bother me. I've not given up anything, but I've gained so many friends and with each friend comes a new confidence!!!

i have solved the problem of missing books; i moved to books on the mp3 player and listen as i sew; i just finished the new book by jodi picoult(?), which was my first one, talk about zoning out - book and sewing at the same time!
