I'm married to a model railroader who has a very large room dedicated to his hobby. He appreciates what I do and I return the favor. He does often help with choices - "Which sashing do you like better?" Things like that. Good color sense, and he encourages me to "buy good tools," and he got me my Janome with some money he got when his mom died. He goes to shows and shops, but does tire of it sooner than a QB does. I go to model RR shows and try to be interested. My sewing is spread around in the kitchen and living room, so I do envy his private space, but the best thing is that we both have a "stash" of stuff we may never use, but we rarely criticize each other for it. If only they built quilt shops and RR shops in the same place, or held shows simultaneously in the same town. Maybe it's best to spread them apart though, so we don't go through all the money at once.
