Great list. We as quilters like to do the moral things in life, which are all listed here.

5 and 6 do it for me....LOL

They all work for me. I wish I had taken up quilting before retirement, but then again, I have more fabric than I have time to quilt. I do love the creative aspects of it and it does keep me focused and I am learning all the time so the brain is still engaged.

3. It is less expensive and more fun than psychiatric care.

4. It's a contest - the one who dies with the most fabric wins.

5. It keeps without refrigeration, you don't have to cook it to enjoy it, you'll never have to feed it, change it, wipe it's nose or walk it.

6. Like dust, it's good for "protecting" previously empty spaces in the house, like the ironing board, laundry basket, the dining room table etc.

7. It's not immoral, illegal or fattening. It calms the nerves, gratifies the soul and makes me feel good.

8. Because it's on "SALE."

9. Because I'm worth it.

10. And buy it now, before your husband retires and goes with you on all your shopping expeditions
(I actually like when hubby goes with me, he "makes" me buy things I think are too extravagant.)

Super great reasons to buy more fabrics!
