He will spend an hour on a bathroom. I don't do it to suit his liking so that's fine with me. I guess it comes from his being in the military for 23 years and working in a hospital lab. But he's the best - I wouldn't trade him for anything

My DH helps around the house when he can but his health is fast detiorating so helping is no longer an option. However when I head to the quilt shop (usually with friends) he asks if I have enough monty and when I get back he always says "is that all you bought" He is a keeper

My DH does his share of cooking, and does the dishes too! But if I ask him his opinion of something and I don't take his advice, he gets pretty miffed. He is an upholsterer so I guess he thinks his advice is from a "professional," but I figure that's all it is...his opinion. Mine is just as good! Till I retired, I too was an upholsterer, and more importantly by far, I am a QUILTER!
I've tried to get him interested in quilting, but he says after working all day with fabric he doesn't want to do it on his days off too...and call it fun!
Mic-pa, you better watch out, I'm coming to get your DH!!!

My DH does not help with the quilting process, but he helps in so may other ways. Takes me on Quilt Hops, Went with me to pick out my long arm, Even took the set-up men out to lunch, and really loves to see me quilting. We have a contest, Me with more fabric, or him with more fishing Lures and equipment!!! Gotta love a guy like that.(49yrs worth)

My husband has the BEST color "eye" in the universe!!
I call down the stairs to him...."Honey can I use your Queer Eye?" (That was one of our favorite shows by the way!! My husband thought Carson was a riot!)
Anyway, he says he is going to start charging me for the help!
Only thing is, he roasts his own coffee, so any of the fabrics that have a coffee theme he has me buy!!! Like I need someone else adding to my stash!!! :lol:
Seriously, I consider myself VERY lucky!! ;)
