Here is your chance to contribute! LOL I need valium today so going to attack my scrap bucket instead!

because the quilt will last longer than the valium!

Because you don't have an insurance company involved!

Its much more creative and your not being lazy

Because quilting has lasting effects...LOL

you can still drive after quilting

You can have a glass of wine after your done quilting!

can't overdose

hmmm.....

won't kill you, anyways

if you could see the fabric in my basement and sun room you wuld know I had overdosed already.

Because it occupies your mind and gives your hands something to do other than strangling the living crap out of somebody.

You can still operate machinery :D:D:D

You can teach others to quilt without going to jail as a drug dealer

You can calm yourself with sewing and leave a lasting memory in the process. Quilting is my therapy and is really cheaper. ( But not by much :lol: :lol: :lol: )

You don't have to have a prescription.

The LQS people are nicer than that Drs, nurses, and pharmacists.

Quilting has no lasting ill effects on internal organs
(except for maybe the bladder---ever stand up after several hours of sewing and barely make it to the bathroom?)

You can't get busted for having too many quilts.

The colors are prettier.

Because you don't have to put something in your body that shouldn't be there!

Like your way of thinking.

Because you can get lost in your quilting and forget why you needed the valium in the 1st place.!

You don't need health insurance to quilt.

Its alot healthier!

LOL

Don't need a prescription =

Although quilting has become as addictive and expensive for me as a street drug

Although the pin pricks still hurt like a shot! :roll:

Well, for the most part. Who among us hasn't poked a few holes in themselves along the way? :lol:

Because the more you do it, the more satisfying it is!

I'm not sure if this makes quilting better -

but the more you do of it, the more you want (and think you need) - - -

Because, so far anyway, the government has not expressed any plans to create a National Quilting Plan.

Because it brings out the love in all of us!

less side effects :lol:

Ahhh you guys are so funny - LOVED THEM ALL!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a lot more variety in fabric than valium and it's a lot more fun to shop for.

And you can refill your stash without a prescription.

good one

'Cause when you are finished with a quilt you
have "Quilted arms of Love to surround you".

The only side effect is some lovely fabrics and quilts, maybe a strain for room and abit on the pocket!

Quilting calms me down, gives me peace of mind, keeps me sane, soothes my nerves, makes me happy. No matter what is going on in my life, quilting just plain gives me peace and the rewards of joy when the recipient gets my quilt is so amazing and heart warming. I'm a hand quilter by preference but all phases of quilting are pleasurable for me.

It's not illegal to share your quilts.

I don't know, I think quilting is more adictive.

LOL. I love it!!!!

I kinda like them both together :P :mrgreen: :-P

Billy

lol when i first saw the name of the thread i thought it said WITH valium, not THAN valium lol

i sure was about to say... because when i've taken my meds, until they wear off, my quilts look so much prettier to me lol
