Default Should I teach my husband to quilt?

My husband does not have a hobby. He comes in my quilting room and sits in my chair and I take him on a tour of my room. He is fascinated by everything I have. He's shocked by how much I have. He thinks all the notions are cool. Whenever I finish a quilt he wants to see it and is impressed that I did all that work. He's impressed that I can stay in my quilting room for 8 hours working away without a break. He went to work for the railroad when he was 18. He's been "on call" for 30 some years so he doesn't know how to work on cars or work with wood. He hunts and fishes, but he needs a different kind of hobby. Something that he can work on during his free time. Do you think I should teach him to quilt? I don't know if we'll get frustrated with each other or if he'll start hogging my quilting room and using my favorite stash. I talked to him about quilting and told him that men are doing it now, so I put the bug in his ear. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
