    Red, of course you can be a part of this list. I'd say jump in, but you'd have to be careful of needles, pins, scissors, etc on the floor(s).

    My quilting group met today and I told them about MPD. We all decided we had it!

    Do we have enough quilters with this disease where we could open up a rehab facility but advertise it as a retreat?

    Default I am suffering from new quilt related disease

    Your problem sounds like it's similar to people who suffer from rescue fabric from a quilt shop. I found an embroidery design that address this issue. It's from Embroidery Designs.com. I made it and gave to the person who owns a quilt shop near me. She just laughed and said " That's it I am no longer a hoarder but a fabric rescuer . Thought this post might make you laugh a little.

    TY for the chuckle.

    Local quilt shop has a plaque that says. Your husband called and said you can buy anything you want.

    I know that wasn't MY husband.

    Remember, the first step is Honesty. Unless you accept there is a problem, overcoming it is almost impossible. Sounds to me like the first step has been recognized by some. It started out has a harmless hobby...... I had no idea it would come to this.
