Ladies, treasure your husbands' comments/interest in your quilting; good, bad or indifferent. I lost mine after three and a half months of marriage but his gift to me is a now 53 y/o son. Widowhood can last a long time.

My husband is definitely a keeper. He likes it when I have the design wall up and blocks on it. He will come in and study it and tell me it looks good or great or if I should move something around. He never complains about how much fabric I have. He used to be a mechanic so he understands the meaning of good tools. Plus he even offers to stop by Joann's on his way home from work if I need something.
The only problem I have had, and I think I have finally got through to him. He used to volunteer me to sew stuff. Or tell me that so and so is having a baby I need you to make a baby quilt for them. I did one for a gal he worked with that I had actually met, but I told him I am not making a quilt for every person that has a baby or a birthday or some other occasion where he works. He does not ask anymore.

My husb. came out to my little quilt shop to bring me a sandwich & when he looked at the "Woven Tumbling Blocks" runner I was working on, he spotted an error in the weaving which messes up the whole pix. Bless his heart. That could have been a disaster.

My husband thinks everything should be for him!! He plays bluegrass music and we were at a festival in DeQueens many years ago. We stopped at a flea maeket that was selling a full suit of armour. It was a fun weekend. We are friends with "Twice as Nice" and they were there that weekend also. Good memories.

My new guy and I are working on a quilt together, this should be an experience, He has chosen all the fabric it is his design, we both did the cutting and ironing, he has layed it out the way he wants it, he has it bagged. One row per baggy and they are numbered. He said he is trying to make it easy for me. So we will see ,he is on his way over, and I can't wait to see what he has done. Wish me Luck, I'll probably need it. We have only been seeing each other for 2 or 3 months. I don't actually know, I'll have to check.
