Well, just when you think your hubby doesn't care about your interests, he goes and surprises you!

This morning I wake up and find a DVR episode of Andy Griffin...As I never record that, I couldn't figure out how it got on my "list"... Found out hubby had recorded it for me late last night as "there is something you will want to see".
Turns out Aunt Bea was making clothes for a show and there was fabric and clothes and (drum roll...) a Featherweight on the table! My husband was proud and happy with himself as I joyfully replayed the episode part with the machine in it... Turns out it wasn't a Featherweight, but just the thought that my hubby had recorded it for me to watch just touched the Begee Bees out of me!!!!!!!!!!

They can surprise you, from time to time, can't they!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Yep! My husband asked a quilt related question this morning. That is just not normal!:)

That was sweet of him. Just this last Wedneday, my DH was watching one of his farm shows. Eleanor Burns came on; he yelled at me to come watch. He even watched with me.

Aw, neat. I remember once my BF watched sewing with Nancy, and proudly told me what a "jelly roll"was!

That comes from years of training. They don't come out of a box like that, you know!

Maybe it is the Radiation from Japan coming over and changing our husbands?????????????

:-D :-D

o how wonderful...definitely a keeper...no doghouse for him today lol

This even spreads to family friends ( A single father with his college age son) told me how they went to the county fair and spent time looking at the the wonderful quilts "Just like the ones you make". Now I have never made a quilt worthy of display in the fair but it's nice to know they think so. I think we quilters and our work are getting more attention/appreciation from the non-quilting folks.

I love it.
One day I was walking up the stairs and over heard my Hubby talking to one of his friends.He was explaining why he was bringing me "that big of a desk"He said" It needs to be big enough for her embroidery machine,her serger and other sewing machines.Plus room to work."It made me happy that he listens to me.
Gotta Love them.
:-) :-) :thumbup: :thumbup:

I love it. Actually my husband was the one that spotted my first Featherweight in the Goodwill store. I had never even seen one before that day. Now I have 5 of them...

My DH is also the reason I have a Baby Lock embroidery/quilting machine. I was looking for a retirement gift for me; a newer sewing machine. He knew I had always wanted one, so said go for it. He's definietely a keeper.

Yes, The hubbys are not something that I would trade for anything!!! They are special!!!

That was so sweet of your hubby,we have several of the old episodes on DVD.My hubby surprised me this week to, he told me he was looking forward to the Puducca show, not sure I spelled that correctly . He gets board in fabric shops but he does like quilts .I am so excited to go it will be my first quilt show .

Once again, I think it is the Radiation in the air/water that is affecting our mates!!

:lol:

I think we may be on to something here. My son told be about the quilt show going on near here! And, he told me I should make a lot of purses and charge $40 for them. :roll:

Oh how sweet your hubby is. Yes, they can be full of surpises :-P

Awwww, that is so sweet!!!!!!!!!!

I can remember several years ago my dad proudly (and correctly) using the word stash in conversation!

ah...whatever the cause, may they all catch it and never recover :lol:

They're messin with ya...or they're feeling guilty about something! I wouldn't trust 'em!

They do surprise you. My DH came home with some fabric from an estate sale and was so proud of himself. It's mostly upholstery fabric and I'm not sure what to do with it, but I thanked him profusely.

It's the thought that counts!

My hubby and I have been married 8 years. I have two stepsons (both now over 50) who weren't too thrilled when we got married. Last Christmas the oldest (and most disapproving) gave me a gift card to Joanns. Now that really, really surprised me.

God knows THAT'S the truth!!! LOL

lmao, ain't that the truth!

my son asked me why dad was allowed to do something and he wasn't. i pointed out i didn't raise dad but with training he's coming along nicely.

What a sweetie!!!

Hubbys can be wonderful. Mine stood over me a couple of weeks ago and "forced" me to place the call to buy a Bernina 1230 that was listed on our area internet (sorta like Craigs List).

There must definatly be something in the air... I got up this morning to see an ad out of the Vegas paper on where to order a quilting book. ( This just after we'd had a "heart to heart" discussion about watching how much I spend on my "hobby"). You just never know about them ! Saraq

My hubby encouraged me to buy 30.5 yards of fabric at garage sales today! Then he turned around and bought me an early birthday present.....a beautiful light oak and glass curio cabinet for my rocking horse collection (well part of the collection).

Yes they can surprise us all right. One day I came home from work and my husband had bought me a Janome 10000 which was the newest Janome at the time. Plus he bought a beautiful cabinet to put it in. He called It the "sew master 10,000. I love, love that machine, and my husband even more!

Yes they can do things just out of the BLUE. Mine doesn't understand my quilting, sewing or my machines. But he just paid for the timing to be reset on my Pfaff (had 50% off, but it was still $130.00), because he knows I love sewing. I never knew he was watching how happy it makes me. You just have to LOVE them. :lol:

we were watching Dances with Wolves which takes place in the 1800's, I think, and DH spotted a depression era quilt!!

I was cutting some 21/2 in strips and my husband asked if they were "fat dimes". I told him that I was impressed that he knew the "lingo".

I went shopping at Joann's this morning. I was in line next to guy at in the "loooong" line by the cutting table. He was waiting patiently while his wife looked for more fabric. He told me all about the camouflage material he was holding and the wonderful blanket and several other items his wife had made for him.

Hey I spotted a featherweight on the tv show , Reba. she was sitting at her kitchen table ,sewing

My husband encouraged me to buy my Bernina 380 this week. He went to the sewing center and quilt shop with me today. He even helped me choose the background fabric for a quilt. Then this evening he told me he wished he could help me with my OBW hexagons. He's a keeper.

The day my hubby asks any craft related question, you can look for my obit 2 days later.

Well, now, you may have something there. But I don't look for my hubby to ever comment about any of my crafting.

I saw this too. She is remaking the daughter's dress for her father's wedding. I had just gotten my featherweight and was so excited to see this episode and recognize her machine.

I think it's interesting that my husband is supportive of my sewing but never did care for me learning to weld.

I wanted to take an auto mechanics course and my husband thought I was crazy. I've always been more mechanical than him but I guess this was too much. He was always happy for me to put together the toys at Christmas, light the hot water heater, and set up our computers and the wireless network, though. :roll:
