I would drive my hubby crazy if I let him help. He would want to follow the pattern exactly as printed, I like to tweak things to my liking. He supports my habit though and loves to brag on me! If I am stumped about a color/fabric selection, he usually has an opinion when asked.

My DH is the best! First he lets me stay home while he goes to work so I can try my hand at quilting fulltime for a business. He will make templates for me when needed. He will come and give an opinion when asked and gives an answer not just a gee that looks fine. He cooks dinner. (He considers it a plus when I cook) I don't ask him to clean. I do stay home fulltime for pete sake! He is excellent with color. Afterall he is an artist as well! He has made beautiful qiltracks for me! OUr coffee tables are complete with drawers of aromatic cedar and no nails! I could go on but I'm sure I have already gone on long enough.

My DH is great with the rotary cutter but pinning him down when he has some extra time is another story....lol.

DH will if I ask but I have no intention of ever asking! He'll find a way to do it 'better' and makes more 'sense' then the way I do it. LOL.

No and I don't want him to. He'd be usesless anyway. Sometimes I ask for his opinion as to colors, etc and he has a good eye for colors.

I with you mine only wants me to do for him.

Mine helps by leaving, too...but he ooohs and aaaahs over everything I make and encourages me all the time. He thinks I am the best quilter ever, lol!

No but I have never asked. Quilting is my ME time and I don't want his help with it to be honest.

Kathieranch ~ Is that a gun on your wall of quilting tools? Maybe that is why he leaves = ) Just kidding! I could say ditto to your comment!

No. I could go on, but I think it best to just answer your question briefly.
