    You might be a quilter if the only way your husband could talk you into moving into a motorhome was to re-design the dining room table to accommodate your sewing machine and he agrees to let you have half the basement for your quilting supplies.

    I know you have all heard this one before, but you might be a quilter if a fat quarter is not a body part.
    I relate to all your responses. I love this board. Thank you all.

    If you nearly always have a small sample of colors in your purse that you are matching so if you see just the right piece you can add to your fabric stash. I and my sister always had these little sample pieces pinned somewhere in our purses. We even were known to search each other shelves for the right piece and sharing it added to our fun

    You are riding along on a motorcycle with a group of people and stop suddenly to take a picture of a quilt design on the side of a barn.

    Both get me in trouble every time!!!
    Me too. If my DH sees the barn before i do he just goes ahead and stops now. LOL

    if you don't let people go barefoot in your house because they might step on a stray pin or needle.

    if you evaluate every personal and household expense by comparing it to how much fabric you could buy for the same amount of money.

    You might be a quilter...
    when you compliment someone on their clothing... you are thinking... "Boy would I love to cut that up!"
