"My husband who normally doesn't come to my fabric room unless it is to
ask about when I am planning to make dinner (his way of saying he is hungry)....."
Louise, My babe and I are both retired and he also comes into my quilting room about meals... he comes to tell me I have a 5 minute or 10 minute window and dinner will be on the table!!! It may be because, as I found out years after she died, my mother was famous for being a drab cook (and I never knew it), but my BIL, SIL, sons, best friends' hubbys also all cook. They got bored when they retired, and started experimenting in the kitchen (or, in the case of SIL he likes to cook on weekends). You should encourage your DH to try it. At the very least it will keep him busy while you quilt!!!! LOL
My husband just comes in and asks, "Did you have anything in mind for dinner, or am I on my own?" LOL! Sometimes he cooks, sometimes I actually cook, sometimes it's sandwiches. I keep wishing he would take up quilting, well maybe not..... then I'd have to share! LOL

My DH comes into the quilt room occasionally to see what I'm working on. If I could talk him into it, I'd have him pressing fabrics and helping me cut the scraps into my preferred sizes. But he's a smart man -- he makes a brief visit & off he goes with comments about what HE'S doing.... : )

Just trying to be nice in my thoughts. You really, really need to learn. It's never too late.

Too bad he won't learn how to rip seams!

Dh doesn't give me a bad time about my stash, but if he did, I'd remind him about the cost of his leather recliner and the huge TV in front of it where he spends his time. My stash has a long way to go before it catches up!

I second "Please learn how to drive!"
My Mom learned to drive at age 67 when my father passed away and she discovered that friends and neighbours, while kind, really didn't appreciate having to take her everywhere.
