My guy helps in a number of ways. I bounce colour off him. He helps me level my quilting frame when it seems to shift. He DRIVES me to fabric stores (PENN from Canada) and often points out quilt patterns. I showed him a obw picture and his eyes shone. I don't think he realized the scope of the talent that goes into these quilts we make. And YES he cooks (though I have to keep stroking him for that one). A real keeper.
