So sorry! What awful comments. Don't let him discourage you. My first husband was very supportive of my quilting and other hobbies. He would have been the guy to tell me to go buy the Bernina. My 2nd and current husband can barely pretend to care. I'm sure he has all kinds of thoughts about cleaning and cooking being more important than quilting. Fortunately for him, he's smart enough to keep it to himself. That's why I thank God that I earn and spend my own money. And how can watching TV be more worthwhile than DOING anything? That's why we need this board, sending you hugs, just keep on stitching!
