My husband is very supportive...the only thing he says is "I don't understand the logic...you take a perfectly good piece of fabric...cut it up in pieces and then sew it back together?" Men...got to love their logic...LOL

Men just don't see the complexity of patterns and color combinations like we do....nor will most of them appreciate all the time we have put into those quilts. My DH looks at it and says "that's pretty" or "not liking that one" and I just know he really isn't "seeing" it at all most of the time!

I have to say that my mathematical, geometry gifted husband has actually helped me with some of the patterns/layouts I just can't seem to get sometimes...That being said, there are times I start to "talk quilt", and he patiently waits...and then begins to "talk hunting, fishing, woodworking"... 'nuff said... :-D

When I wanted a new sewing machine; I was trying to convince myself how much I could spend and justify the cost. My husband gently reminded me that last year he spent as much on a set of new golf clubs. I love him.

This is the man who, when I get to the car with my fabric purchases, asks how much I spent. Then he ALWAYS sends me back because I haven't spent enough!! He also helps me with color selection. He has a good eye for that. I am really blessed!
