I consider my husband's advise invaluable. He has a colour sense far better than mine. (haven't had my cataracts done yet.) And he visits me regularly in my "hiddie hole" to see if I need anything at the store etc.

Don't have a DH but the neighbour's 20 year old son used to volunteer to help me - and did a good job.Shame the family moved away.

Before he passed away he would sit on the floor and help make different designs for my Salvation army quilts. Then he would say" What more!!!!!

My DH doesn't help with cutting or sewing, but he is real good at choosing fabrics and helping me with the "as you go" decisions. That seems odd to me since he has absolutely no taste in clothing or appropriate dress for anything.

My husband pays the bills and never complains about how much fabric I buy. He re-modeled my sewing room, hung shelves, put in a surround sound system, and made a 20-pound light box (ughhh) - but it works great - it's just really heavy. The only thing he ever asked for was a large rag quilt made of golf material - which I made for him and he loves it.

My DH is an enabler. He took me to VT Quilt Festival this year when we went to visit daughter out east (we live in IL)! He is great at picking fabrics and has been known to lend an eye to others when in a quilt store. I'm definitely keeping him. We've been together for 31 years!
