Mine is absolutely an enabler! He's got a great eye for color and design, and has designed a couple of quilts that I just need to find time to make now. He is very helpful when I'm trying to find that one fabric I need to make the design work, especially when I'm trying to work solely from my stash.

Don't know if he'd try to make one, but I bet when I get a true LA (I have a 9" machine for now), he'll want to try it out. :)

Mine will make sure I have the best tools to work with (not that I know how to use all of them!) He is also a math whiz - everytime I'm stumped on measurements he comes to my rescue, and does it so very gently. He "feels" fabric with me and is my great encourager!

Mine justs hands over the fabric money and ooohs and ahhhhhs, sometimes while actually looking at the quilt LOL
he is a keeper tho.
