You know you're a quilter if you can actually SMELL a quilt shop from a block away!

Too funny!DH asked me yesterday if I had enough gas in my truck to do my running for the day, I told him I had a Fat Quarter tank, he just shook his head!

What a great idea!

I knew I was a quilter last summer when it rained all the time and I was happy I could stay in and quilt!

All of the above!!!

Plus...I wake up and go to sleep thinking about fabric I just got or want to get, not concerned with WHERE I will be storing it.

Reminds me of a sign that was hanging in my LQS:

"My husband says if I buy any more fabric, he will leave me.

I will miss him.

You pet Fabric
People are always picking threads off you
You can measure a scant 1/4 by eye
"Featherweight" Doesn't mean Boxer
Your "UFO's" are not from outer space
You clean up your sewing room & they think you are leaving

Just wanted to add a couple more:

your seat cover is covered in threads
your vac cleaner is full of thread
you imagine quilt blocks from the shirts on the men in your office
you think raining days are a blessing so you get more quilting time in



You go on vacation and look at tile floor in fancy hotels as inspiration for your next quilt.

Your a quilter when your DH ask when is dinner and you reply in a min. and it truns out to be 4hrs.
You tell DH you are going Shopping ( but not for food ).

I can relate to that too! I can even remember thinking, didn't he just eat yesterday?!?
