I don't hide my purchases. Couldn't even if I wanted to b/c he pays the bills. He is my prince, he is very supportive of my hobby just wants to see me use what I purchase, thus I don't have a stash just projects in waiting. He even attended two lectures at this last quilt expo in Knoxville so he would know more of what I was talking about - he's a gem and after 32 years I'm not getting rid of him.
