Yes, the things we do for the ones we love. Sometimes they're not fun but they do provide reward when finished.
I like the idea of committing 1-2 hrs every quilting session, then go to someting you love.
Some other ideas, play uplifting music or books on tape. Post a picture of DH doing something special for you. Your thankfulness will help keep up you committment of love (love isn't always warm fuzzy feelings, sometimes it's committment to the other persons desires).
