I'm with your DH on this! I was traveling to Seattle with my DH a few years ago for a counseling conference and while waiting to board our plane was flipping through a quilting magazine. A lady was watching my across the aisle. When we got to Seattle, she handed me the book she'd been reading--a collection of essays on quilting by (I think) Libby Lehman. Loved it! On the way home a young woman sitting across from me in the airport made a comment about being a quilter when she saw my book. When we got off the plane I'd finished the book and handed it to her! She and her husband were on their way home from trying to find a house near Ft. Lewis (his next stationing) that would have room for her LA--she said nice thing about the Army is they moved the LA each move.
The original book owner had been going to Seattle to find a place near her sister to move to--but worried about moving stash and also about the storage unit she rented in Phoenix AZ full of stash! (we were flying out of KC)
