I prefer not to shop with my husband. His idea of shopping is going into the store straight to the item he needs and leaves. I think this is because he didn't have much money for many years. The only time he will say anything about what I have spent is when I get up in the hundreds of dollars.
Besides I would rather go with a quilter or go by myself. I get stressed when someone is waiting for me. I have one girl friend that I love dearly but she goes with me to the store she takes a quick look and then goes out side to smoke. But it drives me crazy because I know she is waiting.
Besides he can be every critical of quilts that the points don't match. He has done some quilting so he knows they are suppose to match. But I am working on him to get him to keep his comments to himself.
