Don't pray for the one who will receive the quilt I'm making.

How about 6 or more weeks? I tell everyone it is OK to autograph the dust, just please don't write the date! LOL

Thanks to all the best replies ever, I laughed and laughed because there are people out there like me.

OK, I'll confess. I sometimes forget to make my bed, because I'm sewing.

Oh heck, I can beat that. I don't live alone and I don't wear jammies!!

I am ashamed to admit that I too often quilt in my jammies (I get up at 5am and sneak off to the machine), and when something came up in the middle of a project, I have been known to tuck my jammies into sweats and run to the fabric store. (very very bad :oops: .

I'm ashamed to admit it but I have this issue. Once I see what a quilt is going to look like finished, I get bored with it and start another. I'll bet I have ten quilts in various stages of donedom in my stash!

Well Gigi, my son told me I couldn't buy any more fabric until all my stash was gone. I havn't completely obeyed, but have curtailed much of my buying. I am now down to the point where what I have left is not something I really want to work with so am going to photograph all of it and sell in bulk. Not today, but sometime this week. So, if you are interested, just keep your computer running tuned to things to buy or sell.

Well, why bother really? You are just going to get back into it again anyway, right?

The only reason I bother to make the bed is because the quilt I currently have on it makes me happy, and I like walking past and seeing it!!

This is me! But, today is lunch day with my quilting bud, and we will probably go to Joann's and I'm sure we will buy more fabric.

Oh yes, much more productive to spend on fabric!!! LOL
