Your DH isn't very diplomatic, is he?
Wouldn't it be funny if he got interested in quilting, too?
Have you told him there are gentlemen quilters here?

Thanks Annya. I didn't do anythig really special b/c I was watching my DGS. Took them to church and then after lunch I took them home 2 see mom. She had been out of town all week so I had them. DH took the boys and me out to lunch Sat. Fially got to start a quilt last night. To me it was an gOod day and my DS called me from TX to wish me a HB.

I belong to a quilt guild and we have all ages. Your husband does not know what he is talking about even back then,( what your husband calls grandma age, young ladies were quilters, as they were preparing for their upcoming nuptials.
