My husband has joined me in the sewing room. Not only is he a sewing machine technician (he keeps me in stitches :)), but a quilter too! He is probably more precise with his piecing than I am and with his "man brain" comes up with easier ways of doing things sometimes. He even digs in up to his elbows every year when we make "Grammy Jammies" for all of our grandkids (21 and one more on the way!) for Christmas. The only problem is that he is color blind...
I love and appreciate him so much!

Hans is very good at design stuff - he always has a go at rearranging my OBWs for example and they look MUCH better than my layouts. Once, we were in a quilt show and he suddenly pointed at a sampler quilt and shouted 'Drunkard's Path'! He was right too - I was soooo impressed! :D He actually DOES listen to me! :lol:
