Quilting is an outlet for me, it is an opportunity to let my creativity flow and when something is bothering me I sew it into a quilt.
I am very lucky, my husband is an addictions counselor and understands the need for a healthy outlet. He is my greatest supporter! In fact he drove an hour to the next town to pick up some fabric I needed more of so I could continue sewing. :)
He's a keeper for sure! :)

My ex did, I finally figured out that he felt threatened by my hobby, because we didn't spend time together when I was quilting, after I made a quilt, just for him, and encouraged his outside interests he was better about it, ( sometimes I just wanted to 'smack' him, because it was my money I earned from my job). My new husband; the sweetest man in the world, never has a problem with my spending, and I don't question his spending . That man cleaned house this past weekend so I could concentrate on training for the 1/2 marathon, and quilt the rest of the weekend. I LOVE that man!

Each payday, my husband and I get a certain amount of money that is ours to use as we wish (as long as it is legal... :lol:
He uses his money for tools, gun stuff, and I use my money for material and going out with friends for lunch. (We use the Dave Ramsey plan for getting out of debt.)
We didn't use to do this and there was quite a bit of disagreements about what was needed and what was not needed when one of us would buy what we wanted to buy.
