Don't need to hide my stash. I probably buy less than I would if he went along and helped pick fabric. He is retired and we spend a lot of time together in the same room. I sew, he does photo stuff.

I hate to think of downsizing someday.
All of those actvities require instruction books and supplies. I'm going to live every day till I die.

Since I am a thrift shop yard sale person it is alot of fum finding items to use and I usually can't wait to show and tell when I get home. Just found a bed set (pillow case top sheet and bottom sheet in flannel) boys sport print for $3 and about 3 yds material with Castles in the cloude with stars that looked like stardust on them. Beautiful don't no what I will do with it yet but it is a start. This piece I left out as I want my gdaughter to see it. Going back as I spotted a Disney set cartoons. My hubby says I am like a kid with a new toy. He enjoys the show.

After 40 years of marriage,I don't hide anything and he can't....boat, motorcycle, new tires & wheels. He just insisted I order a new HQ Avante...can't wait to see what he wants next.[/quote]

My husband looks for new quilt shops for me when he is out and about and then gets me gift certificates from them and then takes me there... LOL

The only fabric I've hidden is recently purchased eagle fabric for a quilt for him (he loves eagles and follows the daily web cams)!! Want to do one of those that looks like you are looking through a window. Not sure how I will accomplish the "surprise" in our modest home.... I quilt in the living room... but I'll figure it out!
