I can't help but wonder....are we sure we want yet another addiction. Is it not bad enough we suffer (in silence) as our addictions become more and more common and totally uncurable....now she wants us addicted to chocolate...I'm sure weight watchers will be delighted....oh wait, we can't join ww, we don't have the time,(we're too busy spending our time here) nor can we afford meetings....what, pay for a meeting when I could buy more fabric...no-brainer, the fabric wins, ww looses, so forget the chocolate, go for the black coffee.......and who digs through 6 bins for stash - isn't it easier just to order more fabric? I must go ponder that question

Me too but sometimes I have the starteritis too. If I didn't belong to a quilting group I don't know how productive I would be. Ther is always interruptions.

then there are:

none of those are as bad, however, as

-quiltitus can'tfindTHEoneremainingfabricIneedforthisprojecti fus

the one that will nearly kill the average quilter?

quiltitus imissedthehalfoffsalebyonedayicus!


Love this!!! Thanks for the laugh. I needed it. ;-)

Hilarious!!!! So true, so true. If anyone finds a cure, just keep it to yourself. This is toooooo much fun.

Quilt tops are more fun to work on.... :thumbup:
I've got one quilt loaded on the frame and have been working on it, sort of, for 3 months. I don't dare start putting the tops in a container - I'll never get them done!

I do find that once I get the quilts "sandwiched" and start the quilting process on my regular machines...they finish rapidly.
Maybe it's just the prep I'm avoiding.

Exactly...! In active clusters, easily found on each and every bolt of fabric. If you fail to stop and at least admire it, it will fall on the floor as soon as you turn your back. That's the "take me home" move.

No known method of extermination, treatment includes purchase and home storage.
