I have read almost all 11 pages of this post and I am ashamed to say that I think I have done ALL of the above, especially the ones committed by the quilters who live alone. The only that that comes before quilting is my 27 month old great grandson that I care for 2 days a week. He comes first!

He's not too young to start to learn about quilting!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

What fun - I think that's a great idea!

I'm ashamed to admit it but sometimes I...

-do the GYO for dinner (get your own) then forget to eat myself!
-take pictures of things that can make an intersting quilt/pattern

Jabez Rose - that is just toooooo cute. He's got ta luv ya!

I am shamed to admit that I started a quilt for my DD, lost my DH last year & still can't pick up DD's quilt & finish it just sits there untouched. AND now making quilts (with some help from this board & personal friends) for fire victims & have no idea when I will be able to pick DD quilt to finish. PLUS my DS is also waiting for a quilt & I have a new GreatGS due in May. Oh my - shame on me....

I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I...

... cut first and measure later!

ME TOO BAD GIRL

I am married with a husband and sometimes quilt all day in my jammies, and forget dinner, and have more projects in progress than I can possibly finish while working a full-time job, live in the desert and pray for bad weather so I can stay inside and quilt...................ok I'll stop now.

let things go b/c i want to quilt. and buy and sneak fabric in the house.

... a lot of the above AND DH often cooks dinner because I'm "too busy."

Whew!! Another confession: It's not only that SOMETIMES I quilt in my jammies all day, it is that I only wear street clothes when I have to go out. I wear a nightshirt to sleep in and change into jammies after my shower. In winter, there is nothing more comfortable to me than flannel jammie bottoms, and I am into comfort! :thumbup:

At first glance I thought you said you get out the liquid stitch to glue your boobs!!!!

I'm ashamed to admit ... that sometimes I read too fast!

My neighbors have come to the door and I was wearing jammies, and last week I ran outside to get the package of fabric that the postman brought up my drive for me. He looked at me a little funny, and I realized I had on my penguin jams. Oh well, he should be used to it; this is a small town and I've seen people in the P.O. in jams and also the grocery store.

Me too. But hubby still wants me to be happy with my craft.

sent you a pm

decieve my husband by telling him "no, I haven't bought any new fabric".

It will get better, just takes time.((( Hugs))) It's been almost 10 years for me, and I was practically a basket case for 2 years.

I'm glad you are quilting, don't worry about the UFO for your daughter, maybe you can start a new one for her.

Enjoy those greatGS, it won't be long now!!

I am ashamed to admit that I sometimes struggle so much over what project I want to work on that I finally give up and go read my Kindle or play piano.

Yes, of course---Quilt Police have been callled and are on their way to your place!!!!!

I am married and I have quilted all day in my jammies

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this.
8-) :thumbup:

I just did that!!!!

im ashamed to admit that i spend way to much money for my quilting hobby

Did you ever hear of a crockpot? I love cooking a roast in it...smells just like my grandmother used to make! Since I am a widow living alone I can do as I please but I do have "kids" down the street that drop in so I also do the fast sweep and dust routine and I have to put sweats on when I get up to take out my 2 15 yr old Silkie Terriers..neighbors around here are always watching. I buy fabric everywhere...always searching for more though I can never sew up all that is here. I am GUILTY!!!!

OOPS ... hit send on that other one just a little too quick!

Absolutely ... the crock is my friend. Also one dish oven meals .... tonight will be oven baked pork chops with potatoes, assorted veggies and milk (kind of faux scalloped) covered in foil. Planned Overs for another day. Also, at same time am cooking some chicken pieces to have in food inventory!! :)

In response to the lady who sometimes spends a day in her "comfy nighty" and knows someday she will get caughts by a visitor.


So basically someday there will be a nock at the door and when you answer it in your "comfy nighty" there will stand a person who is green with envy that they are not doing the same thing. Did I get it correct?

Wait until the last minute to finish a raffle quilt that I have known about for six months.

I have done that quite a few times!!! LOL Glad to hear I am not alone!!! :lol:

This just gave me the biggest laugh!! How funny.Never thought of this one. It just made my day. HeeHee

I've done that.....lol.

Fall asleep in the evenings instead of quilting. :oops:

Okay, I'm ashamed to admit that I read it that way, too!

open a bag of chocolate chips just to eat

I adore buying material but I really don't like piecing quilts. I would much rather spend all my time doing longarm quilting.

. . . used a teeny, tiny bit of seam sealer on a spot on a quilt where one thread had gotten cut in one place. I was already at the quilting stage and didn't really want to take it all apart to change out one square :?

I'm ashamed to admit that - my corner points don't match and I can't figure out why.

I have enjoyed this thread so much! Halarious!

I am a beginning quilter, but I have had my husband say, "Are you putting your stuff away tonight, I want to eat at the dinner table."

My favorite kind of day!
