mine isn't quite that bad. We went today and looked at a quilt frame and machine that the LQS was selling for 3000..(floor model) and when we left he looked at me and said " i think we can get something better" ie meaning more expensive..I have tried in the past to keep the cost down on things but he finds something does a ton of research and if he believes it a good thing that's what he gets..Case in point, I started quilting on a White quilt star 1750 (?) that we bought from goodwill for 35 bucks. After a few months i said that i would like a new machine without some many little quirks..We started looking at a Viking sapphire 855 ( about a grand) After months of researching and testing driving all the different machines I ended up with a Viking Designer SE LE...about a 3000 dollar different then what i began with. I learned a long time ago if i can't beat him..join him, and to be grateful that i am spoiled rotten =) Enjoy your new quilting partner. I know i do, even if he doesn't actually quilt with me =)

My DH doesn't do any quilting, but he has a better eye for color than I do. I often get his input when I'm trying to put colors together. Enjoy the special time with your DH. You're lucky he shares your interest.

I think that when they get involve in the projects, we dont have to hide the cost of the fabric. and he is always fixing my machine and checking the quilt finish to make sure everything is ok
