In my case, I think my DH sees my quilting and quilting activities
as a source of relaxation for me. I work 11-12 hours a day. I have a very stressful job (that I do love) and when I am off "quilting" he knows this is my relaxation and my time to destress. He does not know the difference in fabric quality. He just know that when I let him go with me to one of my favorite quilts shops. He knows there is a chair when he can sit, where they keep the choclate and to just sit and chill because I am going to be at least and hour.
