OK ROFL - I am not one to discuss much with hubby. We are their mates , they are not our bosses. Then again, if he works and you don't ok. If you both work, not. And if you are both retired,not. Don't get me started. I do a lot for my DH but asking him if I can buy something is not one of those things.
AS far as the fabric...YOu can make money and have a good stash also. Sounds like a win-win situation. Whatever you decide, have fun.
