When you can't fall asleep because quilt "math" and images of blocks keep popping into your head.

ROFL..thanks for the laugh this morning!

Quilters...These little quotes don't make addicts out of us.
We must think that we are Thrifty, wise, imaginative, creative, see beauty everywhere, planners, industrious, etc etc. etc.

I have pictures of quilts on photo gallery ,,,not too many of family...lol

It was a particurly bad sewing day and my kids had kept "borrowing" BOTH of my seam rippers!

LOL, I so agree with all of these! I DO resent it when someone interrupts my quilting! I also think about Free-motion quilting in repetitious patterns to relax.

You wait for your husband to start snoring so you can get out of bed and go work on a quilt for a little while,

You lay awake at night wishing that you could still be sewing, and when you finally do get to sleep....the next morning you are thinking about the quilt again before you even have some breakfast.
