Oh, yes, my DH is my biggest enabler. I tend to be the cautious, frugal one, and he is the one that says,"Get it - you deserve it!" That is why I am so fortunalte to have my dream sewing room and all my toys. He has definitely been a keeper for 40 years.

My hubby is the same way.. He loves that I have a hobby, not to mention the same hobby his mom had ( she passed away two yrs ago ).. I guess me quilting keeps her spirit close..

My DH supports me....He still doesn't understand some of the blocks, meaning he can't tell that the basket is a basket and the bear claw is a bear claw....LOL
When we go antique shopping, he is always showing me the vintage sewing machines and bobbins. I tease him and tell him that he likes those machines just as much as I do. He tells me no, that he's just looking for them for me....WHATEVER!!!!

Being the handy guy that he is, I talked him into building a machine quilt frame a year and a half ago (which turned out beautifully). The Bernina lasted on it for about a month and then he bought the Janome 1600 to go on the frame. Now several vintage FW's and treadles have been added to the collection (out of my budget) and when he dares to say anything about the number of machines, I just point to the 3 table saws and several loaded rolling tool chests in the garage and he just smiles. We celebrated 27 years last week.
Here's a photo of the quilt frame he built.
