    This is my DH, too.

    Now - in the grocery store - if we have the money, HE's the one more apt to throw in extras.

    i made the huge mistake of taking hubby to ben franklin crafts one day, planned to pick up a yard of paper back fusable....$283 later i managed to get out of the store...he found i think 3 different fabric collections that (i needed)
    they are all still on a closet shelf...maybe next year i will get caught up enough with stuff i have going on to (look) at what he decided i should be doing :)
    i know one of our lqs's love to see him coming...i do not go with him, i can not afford it!
    one of the lqs around he will not go to, the owner treats him like he has no business stepping through her door...so he goes to the one where they take him by the arm and start telling him all the things he should be buying me :)
    in the past couple years he has taken quite an interest in fabrics...jury's still out if this is a good thing :)

    Mine will go to town with me (uninvited). He drops me off at the fabric store and says 'take your time'. In about seven minutes he will call and ask how much longer I'm going to be. Right then, I feel like I have to hurry. He's probably ready to go for lunch. I really like to go to town by myself. I get a lot more territory covered when he is not with me. I don't like to take the time to stop for lunch.

    Ditto this!!!! :) Frankly, I'm glad he stays home so I can take my time and not feel rushed. Same with the grocery store.

    mine goes with me, since there are no quilt shops nearby, and going far, he prefers to drive. I ask his help sometimes on color. Other times he goes looking at other fabric, thinking I may like it

    I wish!!! No really, he's good at helping select fabric with me, it's fun to have him go.

    Oh no! Fabric shopping is best done alone! I do show and don't tell (how much I spent) after I come back!
