Hi-
The other day my husband asked me this question:
"What do I need to quilt with?"

I gave him a puzzled look - I thought that was what I was doing.

He then told me that I've stuck with quilting longer than anything and that it is not that expensive of a hobby.
I guess if you are not well off you make due with what you have and he likes what I make.

So I got to thinking: What did he mean?
Should I take him to the local quilt shop? NOT!!

What do you think my husband meant? In 5 years we will have been married 25 years - is he planning a surprise?
P.s. for christmas this year he gave me an apron and pj's that's the type of presents I get.

You better start your list right now. There's Mother's Day, Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas.....oh, and Valentine's day. Maybe he needs new ideas of what to get you. What a guy!!!!!! And don't leave anything out☺

Well, gosh... when I first read his statement.... I thought he wanted your advice on what HE needed to start quilting himself!!!! I don't know WHAT he means! lol (I've only been married 9 years, and I have to ask '20 questions'... )lol.

I got a new Janome for Halloween, nothing for Christmas. Last week a new pearl necklace for my birthday in 2 weeks. So with those gifts, I don't feel bad about no gift for Christmas. I did not get him anything either.

LOL, I thought maybe he was going to start quilting too!

That was my thought, too.

maybe he sees you are having fun quilting and he want to learn also???

just ask him!

That is what I wanted to say after thinking about it. But they are out of our price range.
