You and your husband make a great couple, your children are blessed to have you two.

Awwwhhh! So sweet...this was the same guy that came home with the new Bernina when you were just considering getting a new machine, right? I'd say he is definitely a keeper. My hubby is the same way, even offered to go out during a snow storm for starch for me!

Yep, give him a big hug...and make him a quilt quick! My hubby got his for Christmas (he talked me into a Bernina in July).

Yes, he's a keeper! I have one too! Sounds like pinning is a good way to spend quality alone-time with each other. LOL

Nursie and I were thinking the same thing! THIS is the same hubby who came home with the swanky new machine for you! And now this?? He's definitely a keeper!!! Isn't it great when they show more than a passing interest in your projects? My hubby is a keeper too~~ in fact he just told me he intends to go to the big quilt show with me in Salt Lake City. I was shocked and his response was "well, I drag you along to all my crap, I figure it's the least I can do!" Wow.

Now me being the only guy here :lol: :lol: :lol: I will say that I am very supportive of my wife's hobbies and her in general.

She has always told me that she has never seen such a devoted man in her life and is lucky to have me. I am always there to help her if needed and she will come out to the garage with me and sit and hang out while I work on a car or bike late at night after the kids are in bed.

My wife collects Barbies, Hallmark Christmas Ornaments and she is really into collecting Gemstones and Jewelry. Yes its a VERY expensive hobby but it makes her happy and she really enjoys it. She and I will hit the toy and jewelry shows, and flea markets together and she never hears me complain the first bit. And I bet I have been in every Gold Crown Hallmark store within a 300 mile radius of me!! :roll: :lol:

I think that you have a great hubby and if you would surprise him with something that he likes to do he might not go back to his "old ways".

But I think that for a marriage to work you have to take an active roll in each others lives including hobbies and interest.

AMEN! Hubby and I will celebrate our 34th anniversary in April. Taking an active roll in each others lives and communication are definitely the keys!

I totally agree! I think you definitely have a keeper there! My hubby is wonderful too! He is always super supportive and never begrudges me my hobby. He "willingly" will go into a fabric store with me and quite often helps me pick out my colors. He never tells me that I am getting in over my head when I sign up for three different swaps, plus have all my own projects on top of taking care of a 10 month old! LOL! (He regularly takes the baby so I can quilt away!)
The part that makes it even more amazing of him is that right now he is unable to nuture his own hobby. We are living in a trailer while we wait to build on our land, so he has no space for his wood shop. Nary a complaint from him!
It's awesome your Hubby is so wonderful! Make sure to post a pic of the quilt you make for him for his wonderfulness!!
