Butterflyquilter - I'm a SAHM, and as for your comment that you don't have any of your own money, you should! My husband is the only one with a paycheck, but he's always the first to point out that we both work! He'd even argue that my job is more important than his, as I'm raising our kids. The only difference is that he leaves the house to go to his job, so I'm just as deserving of some of the money from the household income as he is. I hope your husband wakes up, and I hope you get a new machine. Even an $80 machine from Walmart would allow you to quilt.
Actually, forget raking leaves, I think you should have a yard sale and sell some of his stuff to make money for your new machine!
