oh my....sending you big hugs! I have to say that quilting is a newer hobby for me, but I have always been into some kind of hobby, therefore my home is filled with yarn and scrapbooking supplies and lots of other things. The quilting has actually been the one hobby my dh hasn't complained about too much (although the pins are a sore subject (Hahaha) especially when he steps on them!, which he has done several times too :oops: ) After 15 years of marriage I guess he realizes that I must have something, other than people, work, and the home, to occupy my mind and maintain my sanity. With the quilting hobby I think he sees more useful outcomes, or maybe he just likes quilts!? Anyway, he now has me making him one, and two of his friends a quilt each. Now if I could just get him to appreciate all the yarn and other hobby stuff I have.....
Hang in there! Just be sure to post your beautiful quilts here and we will be here to cheer you on! Thats why I love this board, cause even when my girls tell me my quilts "don't match" or my dh is rolling his eyes when more fabric appears, I can come on here and find lots of people who understand and share my joy of quilting (and other hobby's too!)
HUGS to you,

I don't know why except maybe the money it takes and the time it takes away from him...(and maybe the pins he has had to pull out of his barefoot a time or two :oops:)
Well the other day I finished a quilt and showed it to him.. He said "Thank goodness you are through".. I am sick of all this quilting..It use to be sewing now quilting... I wish you would just stop it..." I just turned and looked him square in the eyes and said.."Quilting makes me happy....and trust me....You want me to be happy..." Am I the only one here who has a hard time with a husband who doesn't understand to joy of quilting??
