Hubby supports the idea of me quilting and when I am involved with one I am usually so caught up that he rarely hears me complain, yell, argue, etc so there is some peace at home. However, my kids and granddaughters make up for the noise.
I also make sure that my "shopping days" are done after paying the bills and I get a little here and a little there so it looks like I am not buying too often.
All in all, he compliments me on everything I make and loves the little throw quilt I made and claimed it the minute it came off the machine!
