My husband owns 14 classic cars. He also owns and races 6 drag cars. He has never said anything about any sewing machine, notion, or fabric I have ever purchased. I have always consulted him on any large purchase ( machines, etc.), but he has never said anything negative. We both respect each others hobbies, and we both know and understand the boundaries. Shoot, we went racing last year in Florida and he found 2 quilt shops he wanted to take me to.
By the way, I am his crew chief and I handle tires and starting line procedures. And for my efforts, last year I won a very cool award...the Signature Award, given for outstanding sportsmanship and the promotion of safety of drag racing. Beautiful crystal statue now sits proudly next to Husbands awards.
