My sweet hubby is always so supportive of my quilting habit, but his support really got pushed almost to the brink today. I called him to check on our dinner arrangements and he said "Sometimes this quilting habit of yours can really be a pain!" I was shocked (cause I know he has been hitting quilt and fabric shops Christmas shopping) and said, "Why???????" He went on to relate that he had been having a weird stabbing pain in his mid back all day when he would stretch or bend over.....finally after a especially painful stab, he investigated and....Yep! You got it! Once of my quilting needles (threaded, no less) was woven into his flannel shirt! :oops:
He seemed to think that the fact that it was threaded, only added insult to injury, saying "...and I had to un-thread the thing to get it out of my shirt!"
Poor, sweet man! rotflmbo :lol:

How funny!! But I am amazed that he has been hitting quilt shops to buy your Christmas. I don't think my husband has ever been in a fabric store. But, now that I think about it, maybe that is good so he won't see prices!!

Thanks Sharon,

He has recovered completely, and is now enjoying his Quilting "war" story! ;-)

For Christmas I bought him a t-shirt that says:

"She quilts, I cook!"

I think he will wear it a lot!! Especially when we go on vacation and hit all the quilt stores!

Yes he did....he is such a sweetie! That's why I've kept him around for the last 33 years :)

Hahahah. I always warn the bf to be careful when he walks on the floor... not my fault if he steps on a stray needle! Glad your husband survived

He sounds like a great hubby to go shopping in a quilt store and the needle in the shirt he held his temper it sounds like. Mine has found several with his feet, he's usually pretty easy going until that happens.
