Hi Pam! In my case, the addiction started with my grandmother who loved to make quilts. She started me cutting plain blocks when I was about 8 years old and then started me on tying quilts. That was over 50 years ago and I know there is no cure or wonder drug and thankfully this addiction is not painful unless you spend a lot at the fabric stores for a fix. Just enjoy because family and friends will understand and especially if they benefit with your talented results.

When I started quilting I would buy fabric because I liked it not knowing what I was going to do with it. Well, I have loved quilting for sometime now and that fabric that I liked is still around. LOL but, my stash is whoa, unbelievable and growing! When I make a quilt I tell family and friends that I'm making memories. Happy quilting from Ct.

I started off on my old Babylock Espire and then got a new Babylock Quest Plus. When I win the lottery I'll get a fancy long arm or something. :)
I've made about 5 quilts. My cutting and piecing skills need some work. But the galloping horse rider hasn't complained yet. I'm working on a quilt for a little girl at my church who's battling leukemia.
I'm looking forward to hanging out with you all!

PS> Now that I've gone back and read through the whole thread, I realize how many newbies have responded to this thread. Welcome to all of you.
