My husband is gardening at present, but his health has caused him to slow down and many things he loved to do are no longer possible. He encourages fabric purchases, chooses patterns, presses and helps cut. I purchased an embroidery machine, threaded it once, he asked me to show him how I did that - end of story - - I NEVER GOT TO EMBROIDER - he tok it over. At least it keeps is together and enjoying time spent on projects.
