I don't hide them from my dh cause he is the one that takes me to the quilt shops...I don't smoke, drink or do drugs...heheheh....I am addicted to fabric...plain and simple...but I have a friend who has to hide her fabric from her dh...because she can't stand the eye roll either....your not alone in this world trust me...I know a few...there is a woman at our shop who owns several machines and he dh knows nothing about them....as long as your not putting your family into financial ruin and your not harming anybody I think your fine...besides your dh probably has golf clubs you would be shocked at the price...blessings
