Sorry about your grumpy hubby!! Mine is not perfect but he does try to support my quilting habit. He may not like the money I spend, so I try to be frugal with my purchases. But I guess he must be proud of what I make , because he asked me to make a baby quilt for one of his co-workers. It kind of took me a bit by surprise since I had never met the person, but I did take it as a compliment from him! Hope you can get to a better place with yours!!
