I am obsessed with quilting! I don't want to go to the grocery store, I don't want to walk the dogs, I don't want to clean or do laundry or the dishes! I don't want to run errands. I don't want to cook.
All I want to do is quilt!
Can I get an amen on that?

Amen! So what's the problem?

Ohhh, you've got it good!...Amen, Sista!

I think we all go thru times like that! AMEN!

AAAA A MENNN!!

Sing it girl!!

I'm right there with ya!

Amen.....ride the wave while it lasts!:)

Amen.

Amen, That is what I do the most of - quilt. I always shop on Fridays and don't sew, I can't wait for Saturdays to get here so I can get back to quilting.

LOL I get up early in the morning around 4:30 am..Clean house, feed dogs ( 8 pekingese) get children up for school..Take care of what ever else needs to be done so by 9 am I can sit and do my quilting..I do laundry in between sewing breaks..I too am obsessed..

I am in serious withdrawal---have SEVEN sewing machines down.
No time to see what is wrong--know 4 are dead with broken cam stack, motor out, etc.
The goats are kidding, so 28 bottle babies to feed and I am too tired to try to finish the hand-sewn quilts!

AMEN!

I work afternoons, and have been getting up earlier and earlier and trying to get what *some* consider to be necessities done (cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc, lol) done so I can sit and sew! I'm not up at 4:30 (I work until 11:30 pm!) but I'd sure like to be!

Aaammmenn!! Whew, thought I was the only distracted one. Got too many quilt ideas I want to do and life is getting in the way of my quilting!!! lol.

Glory Be and Amen!!

And your problem with that is........??? :lol:

Don't you worry!! Those dust bunnies will be waiting for you whenever you decide to come after them!! In the meantime, they make nice pets!!! As far as doing the dishes.......isn't that why they invented paper plates and cups and plasticware??!! Laundry??? Hey, Adam and Eve didn't have to worry about doing the laundry, did they??!! Walking the dogs?? Simply get 'em a treadmill!!! They can walk to their hearts' content!! Why do you need to go to the grocery store?? In my neck of the woods we simply say, "Hungry Howie's delivers!" (If you don't have a Hungry Howie's where you live, it's a pizza chain -- not sure if it's nationwide or not.) :lol: So-o-o-o, like I asked at the beginning: "And your problem with that is......???" 8-) There.....all your concerns have been addressed, and are really no concerns at all!!!! Enjoy your addiction!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Amen.....

Amen!!!

Oh boy, do I know that feeling!!!!!

A double amen to that. Somedays I stay in my gammies so I have more time to sew.

Amen. I bribe myself.....change loads of laundry and you can quilt for an hour, vacuum and you can cut the pieces for the next quilt, start dinner and you can finish the binding and so on.

AMEN!!!!

Amen, sister!

LOL at the jammies and the self-bribery - I do exactly those same things sometimes!

Amen for what, there is nothing wrong with you!

LADIES we have a real revival goin on here AMEN>

we get our work done as we can (mom just forgot to say clean after you quilt)

Amen Sister! Laundry gets done on quilt breaks. DH does the grocery shopping - thinks I get too much we don't need when I go. He also starts or sometimes makes dinner. Cleaning is only done when absolutely necessary.

AMEN!!!!! and God did not intend for us to spend all our time cleaning house.........I supposed he wanted us to do a little, but not ALL the time. :)

And thats a problem HOW?

Amen!

There was a task I was dreading that I had put off for a long time. I posted a picture of my latest completed quilt on this board and told myself I could not check for any responses until the dreaded task was done. It was a good bribe for me, I got the task done in record time and then rewarded myself by reading the board.

Amen sister. We think the same way.

I became obsessed with quilting after my second class in Summer of 2009. Obsessed with this board last Spring. Only problem Qb cuts down on quilt time. Less time to implement all new ideas.

Amen!!! You mean we are supposed to cook, clean and do laundry?????? Ok, enough to keep them from condemning the place, but fanatic cleaning is NOT in my job description. Clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy is my motto.

Welcome to my world.

Wish I was you!
Amen to you and please enjoy it double for those of us who can't.

Amen and Amen. Housework, laundry and cooking get done only when absolutely necessary.

I'm with you but my Dr keeps telling me: You need to get some exercise! Talk about a killjoy! LOL

I like your idea!! Theres a method to your madness!!!LOL

Welcome to the last six years of my life!!! ;)

The goats are kidding, so 28 bottle babies to feed and I am too tired to try to finish the hand-sewn quilts! okiepastor

Do you hand feed all your kids? If so you won't be quilting again for awhile .......... lol.
