...when you carry a lint roller in your purse to clean threads off DH's clothes. (Me, I wear them with pride, he's not so keen on them.)

...when you sit in church imagining how the dress on the lady in front of you would look cut up into a Stack-n-whack or OBW.

...when it makes you sad that you have to go to bed and stop quilting or you will be worthless for anything tomorrow.

Oh my, this is so me!!

Also, when you go into ANY store and you look around for things you can repurpose for quilting.

That's a great idea!

When you drive two+ hours to go to a "new" fabric shop because you've exhausted the other ones close to your house! LOL

{and of course I can identify with a lot of others too}.

When you won't go shopping for clothes but will spend hours looking at fabric in a quilt shop.

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

Absolutely!

When your guest bed in the sewing room gets used more often by you than any guest because you were up till 2:30 and didn't want to wake DH up going to your own bed.
