I do the same, but I find after a short time I'm drawn to looking at fabrics, patterns, quilting magazines, Amazon for quilting books, etc. I love designing and piecing. The actual quilting is my least favorite part of the process, but I do it so that I can have this quilt to enjoy and can start another. It's been about 25 years since I made my first quilt, and I still get excited about starting my next one.

I have been quilting half of the time you have, but I love it. The anticipation of getting the fabrics, the cutting but most of all putting it together is always such a good feeling of fullfilment for me. I don't know if I will ever get tired ot it.

Is there anything else? It is one of the greatest, most fun, most creative, most wonderful,joyful thing I do. When someone asks me that, I say, " The only place housework comes before quilting is in the dictionary." Really, I thinks only quilters understand that. Non-quilters, not so much. I've even been called a fanatic. Yes, I do love to do "fan" quilts! hehe

I started in 1980 and still love it. I find that when I get burned out with it or that a project isn't going my way, I take a few days off, read a book that has been waiting to be read or get out of the house and go have lunch with my friends. It is amazing how much better I feel when I get back home or turn the last page of that book. I am ready to get into my studio and figure what went wrong and tackle it head on. I can't imagine not quilting. Jan
