I have a supportive husband, too. He looks for vintage sewing items when we're out antiquing but that's pretty much it when it comes to his participation. He likes the quilts I make.... his mother and grandmothers made quilts. And, he tells me which colors he likes, etc. He knows I'm going to do whatever I want to do and he's good with that.
I'm one that can't stand to have too many UFOs around. I had a few stacked up after moving a couple of times but this past year I started tackling the pile and now I'm down to 2, one I started and a top I bought at an auction. I joined in on the UFO challenge last year and that helped me so much to stay on task. Those gals are getting lots of UFOs finished.
