I'm walking around drooling at some of their fabrics they just got in and this lady says "are you quilting" - I said "Yes, why?" She says "Looks like you had a rough day and had to rip apart something!" and she points at me....


Yep that's how I get recognized as a quilter and my DH as a quilter's DH, we have threads on all of our clothes
I look down and I had all the little threads from ripping out the seams all over my shirt and shorts!!! Everyone - hundreds of them! and of course I was wearing a dri-fit addidas shirt so they were clinging like crazy....

Problem was - I didn't even brush them off - got my batting, paid, got into the car and just started laughing - lint rolled myself when I got home though!

I come home from work everyday with threads all over me. LOL
I think sometime if I did not have threads all over me people would not know who I was.

It's the latest fashion statement!!!!

Loved your story. One of the quotes on the info page of this board says 'Quilters come with strings attached'. And I might add, we wear them like badges of honor!
