While my husband of 33 yrs this month doesn't shop fabric for me or openly support my addiction to quilting, he will buy stuff that i want for quilting . Wheni was looking for a second hand machine to take to the cottage- he bought me a 6600! and he just let me buy a 1948 Fw for my birthday! he can be very generous when he wants and doesn't really have a clue about how much i spend on fabric! i don't think that i want him taking up my hobby b/c he would probably be better at it than me and i'd have to quit! :) I'm keeping him just the same.
