Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was cutting strips with my Accuquilt and DH came in and sat down. He'd seen me use the Accuquilt a couple times before. DH "You know that really works slick." I agreed. DH "You know they should make an electric one." Me "They do." DH "and you don't have one???" Me "They're $500." DH "Hum" It was a positive "hum". Think maybe a seed of an idea was planted!
HMMM, Maybe an early (or late) birthday gift?

Awesome! I hinted at a used Grace quilting frame last night and got a "hmm" as well. Not sure it was positive, though!

I too used to hint and then came up with your solution. LOL
I had a similar conversation with my DH recently, although I have a Sizzix. When he found out Accuquilt has the electric version he asked why I didn't have it yet. What a sweetie!
I agree when our DH's are supportive of our craft and/or hobby. Sometimes I get really frustrated though when I point out something in passing as 'that's nice' and then it magically appears in our house! Just because I think something is 'nice' does not necessarily mean I want it (or have room for it)! Congrats to those who are soon to be recipients of their new toys!
I'm a bit in the opposite position, my DH is the complete enabler, what ever I want I can buy. But once in a while I'd like a surprise, like something I wouldn't agree to spending the money on for my quilting but to find it here that DH went and bought it for me. But I am happy with my free reign on my spending for my hobby don't get me wrong but a surprise would be nice

My DH gave me the Go Big Electric for Christmas! He and DD managed to sneak it in and she got the rolling bag! I am so lucky to have such sweet supporters!
