    I recieved a bottle of cologne for Christmas and saved the box because it had beautiful flowers and birds for possible applique quilt. Janice

    You know you're a quilter when you start thinking that EVERYTHING is a quilt. We're all "pieced": ".....the finger bone connected to the hand bone, and the hand bone connected to the arm bone, and the arm bone connected to the shoulder bone....."

    When you have gone from "diddling" in a meeting to designing your next quilt in a sketch.

    When my dog comes home from the groomer with a bandana that is perfect for a quilt I'm thinking about. Even called her to ask where she got the fabric!

    You know you are a quilter when...Instead of getting rid of your old favorite cotton clothing, or your children's, you tuck them into the 'bag' to save just in case you may need that one perfect color piece or scrap for a quilt project!

    I just got back from a trip to Florence (all the terrific tile work) and I'm taking pictures of walls and floors thinking what a great quilt pattern this tiling would make. Others in my group thought I was a few bricks (tiles) short of a full load. LOL.

    I am allergic to the blankets you get on planes so I always carry a throw size quilt with me. The last time I flew it was in the middle of the night and a Siamese cat crawled up on my lap under the quilt and purred both of us to sleep. A few hours later when we were nearing our destination I realized the flight attendants were frantically looking for something. I asked if they were missing something and was told no but they kept looking everywhere. Finally flagged down the attendant and said "are you sure you aren't looking for something? Because this Siamese cat under my quilt doesn't belong to me!" She rolled her eyes and said, "Only a Quilter!"
    Now what did she mean by that?

    I have literally taken the shirts off the backs of my husband and so-in-law to use the fabric in a quilt. I couldn't resist the fabric was perfect for a quilt I was making. Don't worry, I bought them new ones.

    I also do machine embroidery so everything I see, I see as a quilt or embroidery design.

    You know you are a quilter when you can't bring yourself to throw out even your scraps. Just picked up a bag from an Amish store and they were free.
