I'm very happy to say my husband gets it and enjoys me quilting. I get embarrassed when he talks about it to much to his friends and coworkers, but I know he's proud of me and supports my interest. He loves to hand out the newest baby quilt at work or the pick out colors for the next retirement. Don't get me wrong I can't get him to sew, cut or use the long arm. But he does think it's the coolest thing ever and always asks what's my next project. My 14 yr old son is the same, him and his friends show all sort of interest in it and ask for quilts for thier birthdays and Christmas presents. I never understand why significant others or families aren't as suppotive.
