Dianne, I was stunned by your post...and thought surely this must be an unusual, rare, situation. Then I scrolled down the page and saw that there were already SEVENTEEN pages of responses. Super big sister hug to you. Do you have contact (outside of our virtual one here) with people who value your quilt work? Perhaps if your D?H were to hear and see people that he respected laud your efforts his opinion might soften.
Elsewise, he needs a hobby and man time with other men too. When he retires and sits home watching TV all the time....UGH I don't even want to think about it! Try to get him to bond with some men from church or any other affiliation so that you are not his only social outlet.
Best wishes Honey, and keep quilting proud!
