Yep, that's me too!

LOL...the men in my church know me to well...if I stare they tell me "your not getting my shirt or tie!"
you know your a quilter when you have scars on your fingers from the rotary cutter.
You take a drink of coffee or tea and there is lent in the cup.
your buying plexiglas for templates and instead of windows.
you go through three irons a year.

Hey, that would be funnier if it weren't so true. Couldn't disagree with one line. I should print and frame it and hang on the door of my sewing room.

Perfect description. Thanks for the smile.

Hey, you been spying on me? Guilty as charged.

All of these absolutely, totally apply to me! I have to be careful not to talk too loudly when I lean over to my hubby and say, "Oh look! That woman's dress would make an awesome quilt!" Poor man, he lives in fear that I might say it out loud to the person thinking I am paying them a compliment...;-)
