My husband likes that I have a hobby and that it keeps me out of his hair!! He's a golfer, and his "hobby" is new golf clubs!! We laugh about my sewing machine habit and his golf club habit. He never fusses about buying fabric and will often ask if we are going to pass any quilt shops when we travel to various places. Just this spring we came back from AZ and took a lot of time to do it. We stopped in several fabric shops along the way and he waited in the car or walked around. He's great about it. Makes over what I do but always asks "Who's that for" since I give most everything away. He's a keeper too. Married 46 yrs and people said it wouldn't last!! Oh well, who knew??
