So true!

You think of your job as an interruption of your quilting time
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.

When you watch Jeopardy and see the background design as a beautiful quilt!
Instead of framing a photo you want to turn it into a quilted wall hanging,

I have been known to pet fabric!

I also dream quilting patterns and layouts!

Guilty as charged. I lay awake working out patterns in my head and finally just get up and start sketching. Then I dream about designs all night.

When you dream of new patterns in your sleep, and your worst nightmare is dreaming of all your quilts you have made are falling apart. YIKEESSS !!!!
