    You know you're a quilter if you can actually SMELL a quilt shop from a block away!

    What a great idea!

    I knew I was a quilter last summer when it rained all the time and I was happy I could stay in and quilt!

    All of the above!!!

    Plus...I wake up and go to sleep thinking about fabric I just got or want to get, not concerned with WHERE I will be storing it.

    Reminds me of a sign that was hanging in my LQS:

    "My husband says if I buy any more fabric, he will leave me.

    I will miss him.

    "Fat Quarters" are not the heaviest part of your body

    You think of your job as an interruption of your quilting time
    You pet Fabric
    People are always picking threads off you
    You can measure a scant 1/4 by eye
    "Featherweight" Doesn't mean Boxer
    Your "UFO's" are not from outer space
    You clean up your sewing room & they think you are leaving
    Just wanted to add a couple more:

    your seat cover is covered in threads
    your vac cleaner is full of thread
    you imagine quilt blocks from the shirts on the men in your office
    you think raining days are a blessing so you get more quilting time in


    You go on vacation and look at tile floor in fancy hotels as inspiration for your next quilt.

    Your a quilter when your DH ask when is dinner and you reply in a min. and it truns out to be 4hrs.
    You tell DH you are going Shopping ( but not for food ).
