Best Husband Ever!
 

I just have to share this... Yesterday, my husband and I took the day off. He suggested that we go to a city about an hour away and go do some "quilt shopping". We started off at Grubers... Found another new project to add to my list! Then he suggested we go to a sewing machine dealer that I've been wanting to check out for months. There aren't a lot of Babylock dealers in our area and St. Cloud (MN) is probably the closest. I've had my heart set on one for awhile now but always thought of it as kind of a daydream. Couldn't imagine spending that kind of money on a new machine when I have two that (mostly) work already. They are a different class of machine (think used Yugo) versus the Babylock (think Lexus).

Long story short, hubby bought me a new Babylock Soprano!! I believe this is the model that's replacing the Symphony. It's A-MAY-ZING!! It's so quiet... And sooooo smooth and it has all the great features I wanted and more (thread cutter, advanced needle threader, pivot feature, knee lift... I could go on and on. I am the luckiest woman on the planet. I asked my husband why he bought it for me and he just said... "That smile on your face - it's my job to put it there as often as I can."

He got a brother?????

Wow! Sometimes when we have someone who loves us this much, we take it for granted.
You are blessed to have each other.

Nope... But I often tell him that if I die first he will have them piled up 5 deep to get a chance with him! He's definitely a keeper!! Plus he enjoys fabric shopping more than I do!

He is one in a million! Enjoy your time together!!

He sounds like a great person, you are both blessed for finding each other. (A lot of women would not appreciate that kind of love, just take it for granted.)

You are a lucky woman to have found a gem like your husband. Have fun with your new toy.

this is so sweet ! He is definitely a keeper !

I laughed out loud at this!!!

Oh my! A new machine! Wowser ... Now that is one special guy! Congratulations on the machine, but, especially for picking a real gem.

Boy that would be a big learning curve for me but so happy you got one!! Great hubby there!

What a sweetie! Have fun with your new Baby.

What a lovely fellow! Have fun with your beautiful new machine.
My DH is very thoughtful of me too; and each time he is thoughtful towards me I know there is probably a matching new " thing" in the garage for him!! LOL

Hope you have many hours of happy quilting.

Could he talk to my wife ????
I,ll send you her phone number lol.

my husband picked out my Pfaff 4.5 and want's to get the embroidery attachment when we can afford it

You are very very lucky and enjoy your life together.

he did sorta allude to maybe I wouldn't bawlk when he wants to spend some money on his classic car next spring... But I never do!!

The buying trip your husband took you on sounds wonderful. But my favorite part of the story is his answer to your question of why. THAT'S what would take my breath away, regardless of how long you've been together. Sweet and thoughtful, quite a combination!

Congratulations on the new acquisition and the "keeper" husband. I have one of those, too, and I wouldn't trade him for anything (well, most days anyway...LOL).

Sounds like a keeper to me on both accounts!

Wow eee What a great guy you have.

That is a caring, thoughtful husband you have!!

". . . and then I woke up." :D

He's a keeper! Enjoy your new machine.

So sweet of him! Enjoy your new machine and the fact that you are married to a really great guy!

Thanks for sharing your great story. Love the quote from your husband. He's a keeper! Have fun on your new machine.

I got that machine 2 months ago and I love it. Congratulations.

Agreed!! He's more than I even thought to dream of as a little girl! He's always incredibly thoughtful and kind! I really am the luckiest woman out there and I never ever take that for granted. If you both have the top priority of making the other person happy, you're going to have a pretty happy home!

You are definitely one very lucky lady. I have the Espire, which was renamed Symphony, and the only difference was my machine came with a thread rack which could be removed, it held 2 spools upright and there was a telescoping arm if you were using tall cones. The Symphony did come with that but it did have a few more stitches. I got mine in 2007 and love it.

You are a lucky woman!

Loved your story!!! Hope you have many happy hours of sewing with that new machine; and many fun hours cruising in his classic car!!!
I was looking forward to Gruber's on my way home from our cabin closing last fall. To my great dismay they were closed that Sun. afternoon. I know I stopped on a Sunday another year. Such a bummer. Stopped at the winery near Kimball instead!

Thanks for sharing! You and I both have one in a million!

Congratulations on your new machine -- and on choosing a really great guy!!

Proof that he loves you very much.

Isn't it wonderful when you are blessed with the best husband in the world? I share your feelings. GOD Bless

Love the intrigue in your story. Great story but I'll bet he has enjoyed these tactics with other gift giving opportunities. Just enjoy each other every day and know you are blessed!

You do realize that there's going to be a lot more than "5 deep piled up" after you have posted this to let us know what a great keeper you have. A machine buyer and fabric shopper both:).

Awww... such a sweet story and a thoughtful husband. I wish you lots of fun with your new Soprano and many happy years with your DH. Thanks for sharing your excitement.

Merry Christmas
