My DH helps me with layouts. He has a better eye for patterns than I do. He mostly "allows" me to shop for fabric and patterns. Last time he was in AK. he bought to wall hanging patterns from me.

He helps me lay the blocks out and choose fabrics.

He will help me, if I ask, with block layouts. I'll lay them out on the floor in the living room (between him and the TV) and he'll point out which ones need to be switched around. |
My DH helps by staying out of my way... Although he has been pretty good about helping me sandwich. I have to move all the dining room furniture out in order to use that nice big floor.

Mine will make suggestions, if I ask for them. He tells me how beautiful they are and holds them for me to take pictures. He has even surprised me and taken me to quilt shops when I did not expect it. But no sewing or cutting for him! Oh, and he helps me do all my sandwiching!!!! Sometimes, when I have had shoulder issues, he will do all the sandwiching!!!

My DH pays my cc bills and always brags about my projects. He swears he is going to learn how to use a LA and quilt for me when he retires. sighhhhh
|
Heavens no! He helps me build tables and anything manly. However I do believe if he really wanted to he could make a beautiful quilt, but dont tell him I said so because I dont like sharing my toys...LOL
|
Mine wouldn't ever attempt to cut my fabric, but he is very good at helping me to choose fabrics, and layouts. He even takes my to the LQS's to buy more fabric.
He also goes with me to Road2CA, and other sewing events. We get a hotel room, and make these little trips mini vacations. He has no trouble finding something to do while I am busy. He's a keeper :thumbup: |
DH cuts and ties for me and runs to the sewing machine to fix it when I start swearing!
