    I guess , I am pretty lucky . Pat doesn't bother me when I am sewing unless I haven't taken a break in a while . He cooks and is always making me coffee and never once does he make me feel I should quit. 2 years ago we made 7 quilts in less than 28 days together . He helped me cut and design and quilt each one. He has a lot of good ideas and very good at picking colors and material out for different projects . He helps even when I made 8 jackets. Several were fractured barjello and some raggy strip . He was awesome putting colors together. Trish

Besides, he totally supports my quilting so it works out for us....he hunts, I shop fabric and quilt!
    For me it is fishing season....although this fall my husband had two four day trips planned...one backpacking and one fishing, both fell through. And while I felt guilty for feeling this way, it was like "go away so I can miss you' LOL I am blessed with a truly lovely husband, but it is soooooooooooooo nice to have a little space.

    Good thing I live so far away, or I would be there in a heartbeat. I love venison!

    My husband doesn't hunt anymore. But when he was younger the kids and I couldn't wait for him to go. It was like a vacation. Now he is semi retired, so he gets out of the house for part of the day. I can quilt most of the day except he has a bad habit of wanting to eat.

    I've gotten quite a chuckle reading thru these posts. My husband is a deer hunter also so I can relate to the nice solitude, esp. since he is retired now.
