    Mine does not help.. nope, not interested. He thinks I have W-A-Y too much stuff, and wishes I'd give most of it away. He doesn't cook or clean either.. but the other day my beautiful machine wouldn't work.. He is a whiz at anything electronic so tried to find the problem.. when that didn't happen he was willing to load up the machine and take me an hour and 15 minutes through bad roads packed with snow to see what could be done.. Machine did have a problem ($52.00 worth) and when it was ready he cheerfully drove us both back home and carried the machine in.. He gets a gold star anyway!!

    My DH is wonderful with advise on colours.
    Since he has retired he does most of the cooking,and helps with the cleaning,and washing.I have been married to him for almost 49 years,and I wouldn't swap him for "quids".Love him dearly.

    My DH goes with me to my LQS and helps me pick out the fabric, but thats all. Other than that he works on his old car and I work on my quilts. He is very supportive of my sewing that helps alot.

    Dh encourages me in my fabric and machines. He drafts patterns for me and good with color combos and cooks. He is a real keeper. I'm so spoiled.

    Mine helps with design, and he always helps me with the spray basting. 4 hands are better than 2

    DH has made me a "Big Board" for ironing, light box, and made a circular quilting hoop into a lap hoop frame. Anything in that type nature he will gladly do. Also, give his opinion when asked. Oh, and he does cook dinner.

    Mine is great. He's good about fixing anything I need. He even let me invade "his" electronics fix-it room(actually the back bedroom), and move his fix-it stuff to the one corner and now the rest of the room is for sewing. He's also good in the kitchen and cleaning when I need help.
    PS...for X-mas this year he bought me the Pfaff Creative Vision with all the extras, including a new cabinet and chair. Gotta love him.

    I'm a lucky gal. My DH has encouraged my quilting from the start and bought me a new Viking Diamond machine last August. On HIS birthday this past Monday, he ordered me a Koala desk and Rollabout addition.

    He event spent 4 hours with me at the PHoenix show and bought me lots of little gadgets. I'm blessed.
