That was really sweet of him!!!
Mine doesn't help me unless I need a quilt held up for pictures or I need him to help me get into some of my totes full of fabrics from the garage, or unless I need his help for sandwiching a quilt. I do ask him about color and design choices. I share my "sewing" room with him and the computers. I enjoy having him in the same room with me and we can talk and I can throw things at him now and then.
