I'm lucky my husband doesn't say any thing about what I buy. But I am careful not to over do it. He likes the quilts I make for him and also know that Christmas present are bought a head of time and so are birthday gifts.
LOL my grandson wanted to know why I was cutting up a big piece of fabric into little pieces and then making big pieces from them. He is 4 and I am starting him out right he picked out the fabric for his quilt and was watching me make it.
