    That is soooo awesome! My DH takes such an interest in my quilting and has found he likes to collect older machines. He cleans them and tries to collect all the parts and accessories. I told him he needs to learn to quilt....he says, maybe someday, we will see. We found some small quilt kits on sale at A C Moores the other day, and he bought one. BUT it just sits there. Ah well, maybe soon.

    So nice that you DH wants to learn. And of course you need a new machine! You have to have an extra now!

He promised to clean and refinish it for me but that hasn't happened....maybe there is another opportunity here....Hmmmmm???

    Of course he would have to have a new machine. Better yet give him yours and you get the new machine.

    My husband asked me the same thing 12 years ago, and he hasn't stopped yet. It is wonderful...he doesn't mind what I buy and when on a car trip, we stop at all the shops along the way. I have really enjoyed it and look forward to the years to come.

    That is so exciting! It is always wonderful to share a passion with your spouse and I'm sure this is going to open new avenues for you both. Congratulations!
