My husband has passed on now so I can do what I please but I hear him urging me on. He used to take me a quilt shop and encourage me to buy more and more. He got so caught up, he bought his own machine and started quilting. In his last years when he became too weak to go into the shop with me he would say "buy some for me too". He was too ill to do anything but he loved new fabric and loved to see me sew. I cared for him at home and sewed and sewed. He loved to watch so now on special occasions, I go to the quilt shop and splurge! I know he would want me to.
