Dh and I share a quilt room; he has more sewing machines than I do. I do buy the tools we share (its our money that pays the bill), he has his set and I have mine. We do share whenever we need too. He helps me cut the thick layers of material, is a good critic on his opinion on patterns and blocks. I do have my set of tools that he "borrows" because he cannot find his most of the time.
We do have different opinions & ways we see things; guess neither one of us is bored with our life. I keep him guessing. Someday, I will replace his "area" in the quilting room with a LA!! lol!!!
