my DH says Ive turned into a monster...
I got a sewing machine for Mother's Day...and then it began. lol I have started quilting and lets say it has turned into an obsession. I can admit that...not sure about the monster part. I lay in bed and design whole quilts, tote bags, table runner, ect. So is this normal? I used to enjoy reading, watching tv but now all I want to do is quilt. I love it so :)

My family jokes that I need an intervention. I had to replace my iron today, ( I just bought one in January) and my dh is convinced that I am addicted to ironing, since I wore my iron out so fast, and cutting fabric. He is right, too, I am addicted and I don't want to change!

Welcome to your homies! I'd intended to spend the morning sorting out my bookshelves and instead I've alphabetized all of the quilting books and read every page of each one. Congratulations on getting a great Mothers' Day gift that will provide years of enjoyment.

DH might as well get used to the "monster". It's an incurable disease! Did he buy the sewing machine?? If he did, it's all his fault, LOL!
|
Welcome to our world! :p Don't worry, you'll be very happy here! :p Dh will just have to learn to deal with it. He has lots of company, and if they can all do it, he can, too. Right? I think he'll see the value in your newfound hobby once you start making quilts for family gifts. My dh likes that. And how many men have hobbies which can provide nice family gifts? (camping, fishing, golfing sure don't).

I use to work 40+ hours a week for years. Since I don't work now I figure I can devote all that time to quilting if I choose. The family did just fine with me away from home those hours so they can do just fine with me in my sewing room those hours. I don't care what they think I should be doing anyway. LOL

At home, I hear comments all the time, like: "All you want to do is sew." "Sorry if I'm bothering your sewing." "Oh man, she is sewing again." They haven't gotten used to it yet, and I don't care.

You are obsessed but not a monster. It just kinda takes you over but with this addiction you have something to show for it at the end.

I went from a very active work life to disability..The only thing I let interfere with my quilting is income...and I have a big enough stash that I can keep going!! Got rid of the husband, so nothing in my way now!! LOL
