What a guy on a date should never say to a quilter....LOL.

When we were first dating my husband got me to repair some of his clothing for him. I patched some of his workclothes sewed the bottom back in his pockets etc. His first wife had no sewing skills at all. Sometimes I tease him that he married me to keep his clothes in order. He learned early on to admire my handiwork. It comes in handy that his first wife wasn't good at anything domestic. At least when I go out with my girlfriends he knows we are sewing or quilting not picking up guys in a bar.

That mending stuff is for the local laundry or whomever one can pay to get it done. I use to tell my kids to put it in the mending pile I'd get around to it. My son learned to do is own cause the mending pile could sit there for a very, very long time.
I once had man say that it was great that I quilted because if we stayed together I could do his mending -you know, since I already sew and all. I laughed and said that mend was a four-letter word to me and I don't like to say (or do) it. We're not together, but we're friends and I've had his wife in a few of my quilting classes. I don't think she does his mending either. :-)

Look on the flip side - he thinks you're a young chick. That's nice, isn't it?
DH asked me once with the tone of mild indignation "just how many sewing machines does a woman NEED in her lifetime?" ...and that coming from the wood-elf himself who owns every tool known to man in as many iterations as they are available.
