I guess , I am pretty lucky . Pat doesn't bother me when I am sewing unless I haven't taken a break in a while . He cooks and is always making me coffee and never once does he make me feel I should quit. 2 years ago we made 7 quilts in less than 28 days together . He helped me cut and design and quilt each one. He has a lot of good ideas and very good at picking colors and material out for different projects . He helps even when I made 8 jackets. Several were fractured barjello and some raggy strip . He was awesome putting colors together. Trish
