No hiding for me either. My husband encourages me by planning quilt shop stops when we go on an excursion or a drive.

Exactly, just like he doesn't hide things from me. We may not mention something purchased but it isn't hidden. If something is hidden what else is being kept secret?

I don't hide anything, my husband just isn't interested when I do show him, so I very rarely show him anything unless I think it is ultra cute fabric. A couple years ago I started putting my fabric on comic book boards and buying plastic storage boxes to put them in so they stand up - I was the one totally amazed on how much fabric I have. A friend of my daughter asked me if I go to Joann's for fabric every time I get a 40% off coupon, told her not unless I need something now, I have way too much fabric. And I have a lot less than many people on this site.

No, I don't hide anything from dh. Usually if I am going to a quilt retreat or to visit a friend out of town, he expects me to bring home more fabric. I always show him what I bought and he always says how pretty. He has a fishing hobby and used to race 4-wheelers every weekend and trust me he spent way more than me.

I don't hide it. In fact, DH is somewhat of an enabler when it comes to my fabric and other quilting purchases. But then I don't complain about all his power tool and camera purchases.

I don't hide my fabric either. My husband is actually disappointed if I have visited a quilt shop and come home with nothing. This thread reminds me of a friend who used to hide new shoes at my house so her husband wouldn't know she bought them. Funny. Old memory.

I don't hide it! Sometimes a package will arrive when I am not at home. He simply brings it in and then later asks, "You must be working on a new project, huh?" He has his own hobby so we understand each other.

I try to show my spouse what I've purchased, as I am so excited about the new fabrics. He can barely keep his eyes open. So, no hiding. However, I don't tell him that x-amount of money spent at the LQS is how I get the occasional gift certificate from them. Why bore him with math. : )

I never hide fabric but I do hide sweets. Any cookies, candy, cake, etc that he sees he eats it all as fast as he can. Silly man has an addiction to sugar & he just can't help himself so I do hide a stash of chocolate occasionally.

Don't hide fabric - he doesn't care what I buy.
