MNQuilter, I agree with you about spelling things out to hubby. Several years ago when Sweetums was asking what I wanted for Christmas I said a really nice bathrobe. Christmas morning there is a nice box under the tree and I'm thinking bathrobe. Well! He had gone to Joann's got a clerk who helped him pick out fabric in my favorite color and then pick out a pattern and lace. All that was in the box. Sweetums said, "I know how you love to sew and I know you would want to make your own." I didn't have the heart to tell him that sometimes I would like something store-bought. I made my bathrobe and I do love it.
