Mine helps me if I have a quilt in the frame and need to roll it. He helps me pick out fabric sometimes too.
He says he helps with the whole thing from start to finish. (From right here in his recliner) haha |

He will spend an hour on a bathroom. I don't do it to suit his liking so that's fine with me. I guess it comes from his being in the military for 23 years and working in a hospital lab. But he's the best - I wouldn't trade him for anything

Mine is willing to give opinions and help with quality control, but no actual touching of the fabric--LOL

When my DH goes into a fabric store with me, I always end up spending 2-3 times as much as I would have. He seems to have a good eye for finding focus fabrics, but helps with the coordinates too. He also helps a lot with the pattern planning and/or changes midstream. Very encouraging and supportive.

No husband anymore but my guy will move all the stuff around for me every time I want to rearrange. He makes shelves or whatever I need. He helps with layout, color choices, goes shopping with me. And sometimes he justs sits and keeps me company and talks to me while I am sewing. I cook dinner but he does the dishes every night and never says I spend to much time sewing.

My hubby has his own hobby restoring old bicycles while I spend my time in my sewing/quilting room. If I need to go to LQS for something he always asks if I want him to take me. There are times I am not up to driving so he will takes me and waits while I shop.

Not mine. He says he will do any cooking,cleaning,laundry,even iron, but just don't ask him to do anything with quilting except for finding me fabric and paying for it. He has very good taste at picking out fabrics. Just last weekend at 2 WMs he bought me over $500.00 worth of fabric for around $200.00. I got many childrens pieces and some great other pieces. They measured from i yd. to even 2 pieces of 8 yds. They were from $1 to 2.50 a yard. Reg. 2.97 to 5.97 a yd. Talk about a HAPPY GIRL. Right now he is putting together a lg. bookcase for smaller pcs. of fabric.and quilting books. My walk in closet is packed from floor to ceiling and wall to wall of 2 to 3 stacks deep. Each piece tagged with amount. I am what you would call a SUPER DUPER FARBICHOLIC!!! It is such a fun addiction. I will be sewing for MANY years to come. Plus everything I have made and learned on my own, I have given away. It is such a joy. Sorry I got carried away!!

oh yes, he is my cutter and mathematician as well as driving force behind UFO finishing! I like traditional patchwork type quilts and he is more artistic and out of the box so he makes his own too.
|
My DH not only cuts for me but he has learned how to sew and has make over 40 tops in the past year and a half. But , he still won't fill his on bobbin.
