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??
When my H and I were married just after the war, there were still very few domestic items being made because the factories hadn't been converted back from war materials . Our wedding was very simple,no frills. My H ask what I wanted for a wedding present. I said a portable Singer sewing machine He finally found a lovely used model with the rolled wood top and paid $75. That was a fortune in those days. From that day on, he knew where my secret love was hiding. I sewed and sewed and sewed and he had a happy wife. Never questioned any of my sewing purchases tho there was a raised eyebrow now and then. He was a king..........most of the time.
