My dh is great. He listens when I talk about quilting. We went to Paducha many years ago and went to the quilt museum. I told him about that it was the first year that a machine quilted quilt won Best of Show. While I was looking around he was talking about this to several people.
A couple of years ago he spent a couple of weeks looking up quilt shops in the area and going into several to buy me Christmas presents and gift cards.
We went on our first cruise to Alaska last year with some people from my quilt shop and while we were at sea we quilted. At each stop we went into a quilt shop. He didn't say a word about the amount of fabric that I brought home. He even picked out some pillowcases in one shop.
Now if he is with me when I go to my quilt shop he has to come in to say hello to the owners or else they accuse him of being stuck up.
