I have a husband like yours. Mine has an eye for fabric. I would never have dreamed that in retirement we would be sharing his interest. He recently went with my to a quilt show. Of course the place was bombarded by women. Most of the men there were looking like they were bored silly. Not my husband. He totally enjoyed every minute of it. It's great to be supported in this hobby. I'm sure most husbands do, but most from a distance. We recently visited Hamilton also. What a great experience.
