Since I pay the bills and he spends his retirement cks as he chooses, I have the same privilege. And he's getting intrigued by the squishies I get in the mail. Yesterday when we were out doing stuff I stopped by a LQS and found a FQ that I thought might be the fabric I needed for sashing on one of my quilts. At the checkout stand he spied the foldup seam ripper I had been looking for and brought it to my attention...now if I could just convince him to go on a cruise for our 40th anniversary...
