I'm a newbie at quilting...but I have a wonderful supportive husband. He sees my passion for quilting and encourages me, he cooks dinners (we trade off on this duty), he'll do laundry...but he insists on loading the dishwasher! Seems I can't seem to do that right! He's helped buy storage shelves and helped set up my room. He helps me lay out my blocks so we can see what pattern to sew up. He sees things I can't see in the patterns. He and I share the duty of helping our granddaughter with homework (both semi-retired teachers and she lives with us) I guess he knows if momma is happy...everyone is happy.
