When your summer vaction is spent working with your sons on a quilt.

When your children spot Quilting stores from the expressway and your husband gets off at the next exit without even being asked.



When your husband ask you if that is all you are getting when after an hour in the quilting store all you come out with is a package of

bobbins.


Love this. My husband looks for those shops all on his own anymore. Always asks where the quilting travel book is!!

Great idea. It's my thread, but sending it to hubby would b so cool. He knows I'm addicted. He tells me all the time that I should start a Quilters Anonymous. Haha, we r all addicts if we call ourselves quilters.

Sorry, but who is Don Sherry? If his suits inspire quilts, must see his suits.
Robin in TX

rob529, Don Cherry was a Canadian hockey coach and is now a Canadian icon for hockey fans. Google him, go to images and for the sake of your eyes....wear sunglasses....lol!

When you start to think of any spending in terms of yards of fabric
1 pork roast = 2 yards of fabric
three pack of underwear = 3 yards of fabric
eating dinner out = 5 yards of fabric

When you won't let your husband throw away the broken down refrigerator because it would make a great storage space for your fabric.

When you take your daughters shopping and you think that dress/shirt/skirt would be wonderful in a quilt.
