My DH says absolutely nothing about my "collection". He knows better. He has a collection of close to a million railroad photos. I have lost count of how many train bells, whistles, builder's plates, number plates, head lights, etc he has. The whole basement is dedicated to his "collection". It is slowly moving upstairs. He also has 2 classic muscle cars that he has restored. So my puny collection is nothing compaired to his. My collection stays in my sewing room. His is taking over the house. My daughter tells me we live in a depot, I think it is more like a museum.

I'm lucky in that my husband says "if it makes you happy do it", but I love the way you think. I can use that line on my daughter and a few others. Luckily my best friend is a quilter too so we understand each other.(We were friends before quilting came into our lives.)

Thanks for all the positive answers to "what are you going to do with THAT quilt"...Sigh....I go through this all the time with my mother-in-law. She always wants to see what I am working on....but then I have to go through that whole list of questions...."what are you going to do with that?....why did you buy more fabric?...should you keep buying ?....." So instead of being happy to show off what I am making - I hide my things from her and don't want to talk about it with her.
My final word to her is "this is what I do !".. I don't criticise why she reads a dozen books a week. Thanks for letting me vent.

I sometimes comment ... well I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't go out a lot or do a lot of frivolous things. This is my smoking, drinking, etc.
