I don't take him. He hates ANY kind of shopping that takes time! However, he definitely supports my quilting. I have my own quilting bank account, he built a beautiful 14' X 24' shed with a deck that attaches it to the house and he always admires what I make. If I need something and he's going to town, he'll drop by the quilt shop to pick up a particular item for me. He says I worked for 30 years and I deserve to enjoy my retirement! We've been married 47 years and I can't think why I would punish him....he's a sweetie!
