No wondering whose it is. :)

No one in my house uses my quilting tools, they would never hear the end of it. My DH doesn't come in my sewing room, unless I'm in there & then he only goes as far as the doorway. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just a couple days ago I showed my DH how to use my rotary cutter, big ruler and cutting mat to cut suspended ceiling tiles - he has a whole garage full of tools, but my stuff worked perfect for what he was doing. I got a kick out of seeing him use them, and he got to see how I work. No problems, just need a new blade.

I finally bought my own tool kit to keep in my sewing room. I could never find a tool when I needed one. That way I always know where they are or like when DH was putting up my pegboard squares, I didn't have to play gopher up and down the stairs. LOL

My hubby wouldn't know what to do with my quilting stuff!
However, he burned up my power screwdriver that was a perfect fit for my small hand and replaced it with ... A DRILL with screw driver bits. Yes, it's a small one but it doesn't fit my hand! It takes too much 'muscle' to screw together furniture with it. My shoulder was sore for a week!
Gues what? They don't make my screwdriver any more! :(

I actually have favorite screw drivers, etc hidden so my husband can't find them and get them greasy. Once he takes a tool, either I find it somewhere with grease or oil on it, or never see it again. Just easier to keep them safely tucked away.

MY DH is a master fishing fly tier and he loves to use quilting tools. Now he has his own small cutting mat and rotary cutter to use at his disposal--he used to run off with mine!! I put my foot down when he started to take the out of the house to fly tying demonstrations. No more!
AND, I have my own toolbox. I always know where it is and what is in it--DH doesn't DARE touch it!
