    The quilts are all great! Love the colors and patterns. After he started quilting, did he turn into a happy old man? :lol: He's very talented. Thanks for sharing the photos. :thumbup:

    WOW !!!!!! Your husbands quilts and the quilting are gorgeous. He does alot more detail work than I even do. Totally awesome. Keep up the good work. My hubby is still working, but I showed him what your husband made. He said gorgeous. The colors are absolutely beautiful.

    What fun to have a hubby who shares your vision. Mine helps with colors at times, but can't really see him picking up a needle!

    How do they do it, men I mean, they completely blow me away with how easliy they adapt any hobby to their own style! His quilts are so creative (like the pillow cover part, I would never in a hundred years think of doing that!) Now I will of course :), tell your husband thanks for the idea.
    I just know my husband would be a very good quilter, but he is still resisting the idea. My luck he'd start quilting and FMQ would come "naturally" to him and then I would have to shoot him! LOL
