Unfortunately, I've got one of the ones who is neither supportive nor appreciative. The only comments I've ever gotten were,"That's a lot of sewing," (when I finished Carolina Christmas) and, "How much did that cost," (when one came back from being quilted. Mind you, our money is separate (that should tell you a lot), but he still wanted to know.

I started quilting after giving up on spending evenings with him. He watches a lot of sports, sci-fi and "blood and guts" movies/shows on TV, which is his addiction, and I do not enjoy any of those. After a couple of decades, I found other things to do in the evening.

When asked what I want for gifts (birthday, Christmas), I'll often say a gift certificate for LQS or Joanns. While DD did give me one, DH doesn't do that. Almost as if he won't support my hobby. Oh well, I still enjoy it.
It's wonderful that so many spouses do support each other - and that you recognize it!
