He has had a great time choosing his blocks for placement. After he got over his fear of sewing his finger, he has done real well. I guess I'll keep him and keep filling his bobbins. One thing about it, he is already talking about taking me to buy a quilting machine. That's an accomplishment right there. Another advantage to having Hubby sewing is that he likes to fabric shop now. He always ask me now if the fabric I buy is for me or for him! lol

Lovely story, lovely quilt, Dh a keeper. Sounds fairly easy to keep him busy and at least you know what he is up to. Make sure you keep him out of the Vintage Machine area.

Wow! Wouldn't that picture make a neat centerfold in a quilting magazine. :) Tell him that he done good and it's great to see a husband who takes an active part in your hobby. Mine just sticks to picking colours for me, he has a knack for it.

Fantastic quilt and he looks very pleased, as he should be. Good for him! (I agree with the others - get him either prefilled bobbins for Christmas or a bobbin winder):)
