You know you are a quilt addict when:
There is more fabric in the house than food
“Fat Quarter” isn’t the heaviest part of your body
Your ironing board is always up, but you never iron clothes
You think your job is an interruption of your quilting time
You pet your fabric
People pick thread off of you
You can “eyeball” a ¼ inch
“Featherweight” is not a boxer
UFO’s are not from outer space
You clean up your sewing room and everyone thinks you are leaving
