M.I.Late

I have a sewing room but to spend time with DH I will cut and do some stuff at the kitchen table. We have eaten dinner around the cutting mat and stuff many, many times. They just move it over or off the table. They even put it back when we're done clearing the dishes. They are all (DH and 2 DS) very supportive. (In fact DH has a pretty good hand with a seam ripper - he's such a good partner.) They have always shown pride in what I make and never, never give me a hard time. I suppose I'm blessed - really blessed! Didn't really realize it til just now. :) Thanks for that - I owe some hugs!

My immediate family is very supportive and they even try to help me out sometimes so I can have more time in my sewing room. DH buys me all the fabric I need and more, but I don't ask very often. Extended family, pretty much all thinks it's cool and would like quilts but they are very picky about what I might make for them and that takes the fun out of it for me for some reason. To date, I haven't made a quilt for any of them.

DH is very supportive & actually will show off something I've made if he likes it. My Mom thinks I'm crazy. My Dad used to upholster furniture as a hobby & for a little bit of extra income years ago, and he understands. And my DD doesn't see what I have found in doing this and says that she would not have the patience. She loves to paint & draw, and I tell her that it's sort of the same thing, but you are making art with fabric & thread. DS looks and will say that's nice, but really at 24 he could care less.

"Oh Great, another obsession!"

I have no idea what they may say. My oldest Daughter is a quilter also. Seems no one turns down a free quilt, guess I can take that to mean good things are being said.

My immediate family, husband and kids and their spouses think it's wonderful. They love my quilts and always are stealing them.
My extended family love the quilts I have made for them but I am sure that some of them think I am a little odd with all the fabric that I have "collected"

I would say that my dh and dg, say that I'm totally crazy. LOL

My family is super supportive and loves the quilts I make.

DH is known to frequent a LQS on occasion and he won't put up with any snooty this-is-women's-territory BS. He will discuss quilting terms with the best of them and at some point he will declare himself "married to a quilter and proud of it!"

My mom will say that I am crazy enough to cut up yardage only to put it back together. But it is said in great fun.

I made my Dad a quilt a short while after my Mom's passing. I don't think anyone has been in his house since that he hasn't shown the quilt to and told them the story of my making it with pride. Boy, does that make you feel humble and loved!
