    Default Husbands and quilting - a funny

    My husband is very much an enabler, and also shares my passion for vintage machines. So when we made a trip to St. Louis to pick up a machine, he was fine stopping at Missouri Quilt Block Company for the afternoon.

    He had a lot of fun, as most of their stores also had a vintage machine or two, and he loves talking machines. We were at the "main" store and while I was looking at fabric, my husband was looking at some of the vintage machines around the store. They had a back room where some women were sewing, and several old machine in there, so he walked in and started chatting with them, having a good time.

    Imagine my surprise when I found my husband taking to Jenny Doan about her vintage iron collection!

    I agree. Any man that can entertain himself in a quilt store is a keeper.

    That was the funniest part - DH had no idea who she was. He loves talking vintage sewing machines with anyone that will listen.
