    No, but he builds me things for my quilting. So far he has made both my SIL and me an extension table, a PVC frame for quilting, and he made the proper insert for my new machine to fit in an old sewing desk. I didn't want any hinges put onto my machine to drop it down.

    He is very supportive of my hobbies.

    LOL, my DH won't even sew a button on his shirt. (Nor will I do it for him!) but he is very supportive of my hobby. When I got my first embroidery machine, he was fascinated by it, but would not let me teach him to use it. (Between us, I think he feels like *real* men don't sew) Please...no one take offense.

    My husband can sew, quilt, & latch hook. He can also fix the plumbing, rebuild a diesel engine, operate heavy equipment, and mount & balance a tire for my 4X4. He's also a darn good cook. He really doesn't need me for much at all... but he sure does love me!!! =)

    Edited to add: Please don't tell him I shared this with you all. lol

    No, but he is a great designer. Maybe he is afraid of showing me up ;-)

    Mine will do simple sewing, but looked a bit hesitant when I tried to teach him how to use the rotary cutter. He normally isn't much of a shopper, but when he's with me, I spend twice as much! What he really is great at is helping me sandwich the quilts! He gets out more wrinkles than I do! LOL

    Mine sew or quilt - you have got to be kidding me. Will not go into a fabric shop with me. But I must say he does not care how much I spend on material (of course I keep it within our means) and he is the one who just got me the brother SE350. Will attempt to make me anything I need to make things easier for me to quilt. Will help me match colors and such as that. And he always praises my work. He cooks but does not clean. All in all, he is a keeper.
