does your husband
#12
My hubby has learned to look the other way when I bring fabric home, and he does not seem to notice that I have 10 machines. He always has comments. He uses phrases like, "You need more color contrast. Will it quilt out? You cut off a point. Those seams don't match". My favorite is "Wow, I like that one!"

Barbara - your husband sounds a lot like mine. He's into baseball and mustangs (1965's), and our relationship sounds exactly like yours. We show interest in each others' hobbies...or at least act like we do. Couldn't be happier with him. And we, too, make a great team!

My DH never says anything about my quilting. I use my own money to buy things and the only time she says anything is if I show him. Then all I get is a "uh huh" :(
On the other hand, my son loves what I make! :D

MY DH hates quilts. And he gives me grief about the money I spend. But then again he tries not to discourage me because he knows if he does and I stop quilting he won't be able to live with me!! After 20+ years of living with me and my depression he tries to keep me happy! :lol:

My husband is once again doing renovations on my sewing room, since Paco (my embroidery machine) moved in. He is going to redo my closet, take off the doors, and install a cabinet and more shelves for my stash.
And he is also building my greenhouse so we can use it next spring.
He has been known to say......"Get out of the truck, make sure you have your Visa"and then opens the fabric store door, shoves me in and says.."go get 'em baby"

Sounds like both of our DH's are keepers. BTW, I love the '65 'stang...makes my heart go pitty pat!
