Thanks all for your replies. As I stated before my DH is very supportive and doesn't mind my passion (with the fabrics). I did ask him if my quilting brothered him and he said, "No it gives you something to do". I am retired and after working most of my life it's hard to just sit. When he knows a friends birthday is coming up he now says, "Do you think they would like a quilt"? BrendaK
