I have laughed at a lot of these replies. I read the original post to DH, and he reacted just as I thought...with a sideways look at me, and a little smirky grin...we both laughed, as we both know I love, love, love to buy not just fabric, but all things "quilty"...and we both know while I never hide it, I don't just rush in and show him every little thing...mainly as he tries to be polite, and interested, but...thats like me loving to hear him talk of his hunting and fishing hobbies...lol...One more thing, as I am trying to quit being so "perfectionistic" about my fmq, he has been known to "point out" a little extra loop, or loose thread to me...backfired on him, as just spurred me on to buy a better machine, AND the plans for him to build the quilt frame for me!! :mrgreen: In all reality, if there is something I see, that I think he can build for me, I tell him, we explore it, and most of the time it appears to me within a few days...or something I want(such as the new sewing machine) that would be considered a "big purchase", we discuss it, and I buy it. In turn, I try and be...ahem, "interested" in his hunting and fishing...humor has always been a big thing for he and I...must be working, we are going on 29 years of marriage! :thumbup:
