I have given up my dining room table (now it's a sewing table) and my china cabinet (it now holds my stash). :mrgreen:
|
I give up nothing but a tad of depression. Quilting puts me on a new 'high'. After all, I am using up some of my endless stash, I am gaining a new piece of art, and I am insulating myself from some of the other stuff that goes on around the house. I am off to new heights when I quilt. Don't bother me with mundane stuff!

Given up lots of money for quilting, but , what the heck.
I have gained alot more, my quilting friends are the best. |

np3----exactly my thoughts to a "T"!--well said |
I've given up a business and a marriage!
Well, that sounds worse than it was. He bought the quilt shop as a dumping ground for me; when I figured that out, I lost my heart for it, took 2 years to get the shop closed, and then agreed with his demand for a divorce. I actually don't give up anything these days except free-spending fabric shopping, which, with my stash, isn't a necessity anyway. I've gained so much more than I've ever given up! |
HOUSEWORK!

The house stays clean since there are only two here. Laundry gets done, folded but not always put away the same day. But thats not because of quilting, its cause I am too lazy.....LOL And meals get cooked, I cook at home alot to control our fat intake. |
Computer and TV time. Which for me, is a good thing.
I've also given up having a "perfect" house, but again, a good thing. The counters are clean, the floor is swept. The bathroom is (mostly) clean! :D :D :D |
I've gained more. Haven't given anything up, just changed the things I spend extra money on and I think I'm much happier now that I'm quilting again.

I have the same response. I have retired and now the creativity that went into teaching goes into quilting. And I enjoy it more than Suduko!
