"...Sometimes I say all of the above to myself. "How many quilts do you need?" That goes along with "Where am I going to put them all?" And of course I know I have other things to do... like cook and clean.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-15212421715331826652011-05-18T15:04:31.812-04:002011-05-18T15:04:31.812-04:00One of the girls at the bank always asks me this b...One of the girls at the bank always asks me this but in part it is because she is friends with another quilting friend of mine. <br /><br />I don't take offense she asks so it must just be the how or the one they used when they asked you "are you still making quilts?"Linda Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585942908710656032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-73105947389159763642011-05-16T08:21:14.954-04:002011-05-16T08:21:14.954-04:002 laughs here (I know for a fact that some people ...2 laughs here (I know for a fact that some people have not made "that" many quilts... & they still get these questions.)<br /><br />Do people ask these same questions to stamp collectors or hobby golfers?

I just couldn't believe my ears! And I got really angry and upset, too.<br /><br />My friends are constantly asking me when I'm going to buy a larger flat to make room for my quilts, I know they don't mean anything bad by it, and they love my quilts, but still it gets to me sometimes... <br /><br />But I have realized what we do is our passion, our way of being creative, our way to challenge our brain, work on eye-hand coordination etc. And honestly the only person I have to justify myself to is me. I intend to enjoy my quilting as long as I think it's fun! :-)<br /><br />Happy quilting! Hugs and stitches from meAnne Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980121747791507415noreply@blogger.com
