Oh my goodness! Yesterday, we were doing errands and hubby agreed to drive over to Jeri's Quilt Patch in Norway (MI) to look around. Usually he just waits in the car. This time he came inside and sat down on the stool by the counter. When I had scanned the shop, I invited him to look around for the bright blue he was thinking would be nice for a new winter weight quilt.
Low and behold, he strolled into one of the rooms and was smitten by a flannel kit done up in a beautiful royal blue and green. Ahhhh... It really is striking in color and design. On the spot he offered to purchase the kits if I would handle the cost of the batting and machine quilting. How could I say NO?!
I picked up a roll of fat quarters of the same line and the last 2.3 yards of the backing material. Sew :-) I have the kits, including all of the backing fabric, and one happy DH.
His comment to me was that he should be willing to pay towards a quilt that he would be using.....
Well, that was my window shopping. DH truly appreciates the time, effort and expense of making a quilt.
Pinch me! I'm not dreaming, but am one cloud nine :-)
