I have read every one of the posts and I have to say that I am so happy for each of you to have spouses who support your quilting and there is no need to hide your stash. In my house, I am the QUEEN! I do not have to hide any of my stash. I am able to spend whatever I want of fabric and supplies and no one ever complains when my pins drop on the floor or that the ironing board is always up. I guess that must be because I am single (sigh). I wish I had a significant other to share my hobbies with but alas, I have been single since my children were in middle school (a LONG time ago).It really is okay though. Since my children are now grown and live elsewhere, I have only myself to answer to. So sometimes I make a mess and leave it for a day or so, I sew anytime I want and I buy whatever fabrics I like and the only accountability is to my small bank account. I don't mind being single at all but there are times, like now while reading all your comments, that I wish (maybe??) that there were a King in my household too.
