Fortunately, my DH appreciates and encourages my quilt making. Probably because then he doesn't feel so guilty about his model car collecting or golfing. I have heard many people say they can't understand why anyone would want to play golf. After all, they are just hitting a ball into a hole, picking it up and hitting it again. But avid golfers cannot live with out it. As for us quilters, yes we are cutting up perfectly good fabrics and sewing them back together, but we are avid about our craft and cannot live without it either. Therefore, to each his own. I always said that to my daughter when she was growing up when she made a snide remark about someone or something that she didn't like or understand. Boy, she hated it. when I said that.
