    If that's the way he picks thread colors, what will he do for fabrics being left loose in a LQS? He'll be on the floor tossing FQ's down!! How else would he do it? That's too funny!!! :D :D :D

    Great job! My DH watched some online tutorials with me and thought it looked easy. Then he said he could probably sew two charms together but that would be about it! LOL Awesome that you could get your DH so involved. I guess he doesn't roll his eyes now when you drag him into a fabric shop!

    Well this is something else.

    I must admit, I help hubby in the garage working on our antique cars... & he has been a tremendous help setting my design wall and setting up my sewing room. He is very encouraging when I show him my quilting progress.

    I'm just glad that he has not taken over the sewing machine yet. That just may cause me to have to get a new one... hmmmm.... "Honey, would you like me to show you how to make a quilt?" LOL

    I'm ROTFL so hard!!! Men are soooo funny!! You know how they buy 5 times more than they need -- especially in the grocery store? Take him to an LQS and you'll be set for life fabric-wise!!! You'll never run out of anything with them around!!! LOL trying to get your sewing machine back though!!

    :D :D ;)

    Do I detect some friendly competition coming your way in the future? That could cause some really creative results for you both. Thanks for sharing. DH made me smile and I like his lined up quilt.
