Your husband sounds like a very thoughtful man! Enjoy your new machines, and don't feel guilty about such a lovely gift. Maybe he would be interested in a nice snuggly couch quilt. And maybe he'd donate some old flannel or plaid shirts to make it from a la Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com? And a nice embroidered mugrug and mug might be nice with special coffee and a snack. I hope the family matters can be successfully resolved without too much difficulty.
