Have a trail of threads from the sewing room to the front door.
Have tubs of left over scrap fabric stashed away for when I am in the mood.
The sales gals at most all of the sewing and quilt stores greet you by your first name and a knowing smile.
Organize your fabrics into colors so it is easy to audition them for suitability.
Have more quilt patterns than a city block worth of people.
Oh and the worst ... talking to a friend, looking at their blouse or skirt and thinking I could use that fabric in a quilt I am buying for.
Need I go on?

Everyone in my church no longer looks at me with suspicion in their eyes when I ask them to gift that shirt, tie, etc. to me when they no longer want it.

You know you are a quilter when the fur bunnies disappear under fabric, or become the thread catcher.
You have threads over all your jumpers.
You know you are a quilter when you see pattern every where. You know you are a quilter when watching a film you spy the quilt. What is the pattern colour etc can I make one.
You know you are a quilter when your bucket list fits on more than one toilet roll and if you live to be a thousand will never do them all.
You know you are something when you are always running out of pins.

you might be a quilter when you teach your grand kids about proper piecing along with proper brushing, picking up after themselves etc.
You MUST be a quilter when the same grandkids show you beautiful clothes and curtains in a store bc they think it would look good in a project!
YAY! I'm passing on the right traditions!

You might be a Quilter when you lay in bed at night while your DH sleeps and mentally design a new quilt or pick out colors for your current quilt. Then you remember your thoughts in the morning and begin your project when you get up (after coffee, of course :-)).
