You know you're a quilter when you are on vacation in a beautiful old hotel and find yourself taking pictures of the carpets and your sister says, "Quilt pattern, right?"

That actually happened to me last Friday at my local Jo-Ann's Fabrics. There was a big sale and I was treating myself to the texture of some lovely red patterned cottons when the lady came up to me and said 'your hands had better be clean!'
