...as a result of too much sewing tonight...
You know you're addicted to quilting when you ignore your headache, then realize getting glasses like the doc prescribed is, indeed, necessary.

lol

I was warned that it is highly addictive but I never thought of being lost after the first quilt.
I am in love with the "blop" sound the knot of the quilting thread is making, getting pulled between the layers....... :oops:

You walk in to church covered in threads cause you were sewing just bef0re you left. Even on Sunday (supposedly a day of rest) you can't leave the machine alone for a minute LOL

When you pack for vacation and the first thing packed is a quilt to work on while you are riding. Also a printed list of quilt shops along the way.

You know you are hooked when you are in a restaurant restroom and you run back to your table to get the paper place mat to trace the floor tile to take along as your next quilt.

sign of addiction: someone vaguely describes a quilt pattern, but you can name it...

Hmmmm I have heard of that before and when I first started quilting I swear I was never going to have UFO's..ya well that didn't last long lol.
You also know you are addicted when you don't travel anywhere w/o knowing where all the quilt stores are. I carry lists of stores in my car glove box. I even have a list of which walmarts that carry fabric because alot don't.
