That is a great big NO, however he loves the things that I do and is very proud of me.

Yes...he quilts and has been for the past 15 years. Does mostly hand pieceing and hand quilting ( won awards) but also does baby quilts by machine for the girls in the office who are pregnant...one per girl... He has a Janome Jem Gold and loves it.

My DH is on the road all week in a semi, but loves to fabric shop and go to quilt and craft shows with me. He is the one who points to the expensive fabric and tells me to buy that instead of the cheaper stuff and he picked out my Janome Memory Craft. He buys fabric for me as gifts because he knows that's what I really want. He has a lot of artistic talent and I believe he will design and try his hand at it when he retires in a couple of years. I think he will have a lot of fun with EQ6. He has even tried his hand at cross stitch. He's my keeper! We love to do things together, and that is why I learned to drive truck and spent seven years on the road with him. Now I am retired and get to spend my time quilting.

OH YES he does, he made 6 quilts for our daughters and his brother and sister for Christmas last year. He is one of 3 men I have in my quilt class. He loves it and so do I, this way I get to buy more fabric. LOL I love shareing my hobby with him. It only took him 73 years to find my hobby but I am glad he did. He has 20 some old machines that he can use. He buys old ones and repairs them and then uses them.

Mine doesn't sew either. He does woodworking and makes me shelves and ruler holders, etc. and he never gets upset when I buy sewing/quilting stuff. I can't complain. My two grandsons ( ages 6 & 4 ) and my granddaughter (age 2) like to sit on my lap and help me sew. I am going to teach them to sew when they get older.

My sweet hubby doesn't sew, but is very supportive. He has a more creative mind that I do so I ask his opinion on color choices and quilting designs. He's given me some pretty good advice so far. He also let's me spend as much time as I want with my quilting and has never stopped me from buying what I need (I'm the conservative one in the family so I'm not a real threat in the spending department.) :) He's a real find and I'm not sharing him.

My Bear say' he wants to make a quilt but,if his making a quilt is anything like getting him to do the laundry! I don't think it will ever happen,unless I chase him around with a square, needle and thread :D

When my sons were little they were fascinated by my sewing machine so I taught all 3 how to use it. They made quite a few things that I still have (of course!)
When my youngest was in high school he made all his own clothes- no joke. He was very alternative and made all kinds of wild stuff. Everyone at school loved his designs, well probably not everyone, but you know. Then he started getting requests for outfits. What fond memories I have of taking him to Joann Fabrics where the clerks just loved him.
He no longer sews but just made off with some new pillows I made. He loves working with his hands still but mostly wood. They all love hand-made things.

No, but he can sure work on cars! My youngest son does leather work and has an industrial machine for large projects.

Just because there are men Qters Don't ****** ** Boy did I get my ear full. My husband is real good working with his mind and hands, but NO QUILTING. He has no desire to mess around a machine unless its to fix it.

My wife and I both quilt. She tought me to quilt about seven years ago. We do a lot of quilts for charities. As for machines we each have plenty. You might say I have a stash of machines.

My husband doesn't quilt (he likes to paint) but he is very supportive of my "habit". He does sew, he was a single Dad to three boys, so he made clothes, pillow cases, curtains and did all the mending and alterations. He cooks, cleans and builds and renovates things and for the first 10 years of our marriage I was doing full-time paid work and he took care of his kids, my kids and ran the house like clockwork. I was the envy of all my co-workers at morning tea and lunch, his culinary creations became legendary. A few years ago I needed a sabbatical to deal with some health problems, so now he has a full-time paid position working as a heavy duty fitter and welder. I wouldn't trade him for anything and if you'd have told me 15 years ago such men existed I would have said "Yeah, and pigs can fly".

No the only machine he knows how to use is the lawn mower

Buffmama, that wedding is tooo fabulous!!!

Hmmmm....'Makes me wonder how many of you gals change the oil in the car and cut the grass?

some times he does. and he uses my sewing machines. God bless. Penny

Well I will answer that one. No I do not change the oil in the car. I do not mow, but I can at times when needed. My children give me a hard time because I like for my husband to be the one who puts the gas in my car. Don't get me wrong. I can put gas in the car and I can mow the grass. But I can not change the oil in the car. Something I never learned how to do. :lol:

Lucky you. I would be afraid to turn mine loose with my rotary cutter!!

LOL, I cut the grass, but I draw the line at changing the oil!

No but he sure can make beautiful stained glass.

No my hubby does not sew or quilt...I would love it if he would though. He does help me cut sometimes because I have arthritis in my hands and they get swollen when I cut. I have been encouraging him to get into repairing machines...he is very mechanical....it would save money too lol.

Margie

Doesn't sew - but he does rotary cut for me. It really helps alot and then I get to piecing quicker.

No, he does not sew or quilt. He could probably sew on a button if he had to. He is most appreciative of my quilting and sewing; but no way would he sit still long enough to make a quilt. He is very gifted with car repairs and woodworking. He, physically built our house and some furniture when we could not find what we wanted. I did help him with the building projects; however, his main hobby is collecting and restoring old cars. He would love for me help him with this hobby; but after being conned into sewing seat covers and doing some repair to a convertible top, I told him "no, I am a quilter." Besides, grease under the finger nails and quilting or not compatible. He does not complain about my enormous stash of fabrics and I don't complain about his stash of car parts.

My husband doesn't but my son-in-law had me teach him and then help him get his own machine. Now when I go visit I don't have to haul mine I use his!!! He learned so he could alter his military fatigues and make different accessories they used while in Iraq.

No hubby...or boyfriend haha BUT me and my roommate watch movies, she'll knit, I quilt haha

Teach her to cut lol

My hubby doesn't quilt but has his very own upholstery machine and upholstered his 29 Nash and did a fine job!

Mine won't go near a sewing machine, but he has told me he would love to design a quilt and have me make it.

My hubby would not care a thing about sewing but he does take me to look for vintage sewing machines and we have fun.

You make a GREAT point...haha

My hubby encourages my quilting, no matter what. He does know how to use a machine, being one of nine children, he was taught at home. He made sheets for his waterbed years ago, and does his own jean hemming. I just adjust the machine for him, and he does all the rest.

Oh yes my hubby sews up a storm. He and I both have the Janome 6600P. He bought one for me and it wasn't one or two months later before he said he really wanted one for himself. He is the one that introduced me to this web quilting board. I love the board!

mine doesn't quitl or sew, but he can sew a button! He does support my sewing and takes me to all the shops!

mine does not quilt or sew and i'm pretty sure that i wouldn't want him to! it would be just my luck that his quilting and piecing would be way better than mine and i would have to quit quilting! He is an electrical engineer and engineers are very picky and most are perfectionists. I don't even want to think about that possibility! LOL

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY BEING A PERFECTIONIST. MY
HUSBAND HAS A DEGREE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BUT
HE HASN'T STARTED HIS QUILT YET. MAYBE AFTER HIS HEART
SURGERY AT THE END OF THE MONTH HE WILL.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO,,, my husband "asked " to help me cut out the hex's for my newest quilt,, but,, I can only imagine what they would turn out to be,, needless to say, I prefer NOT to have him help,,,,lol... :lol:

Sounds like ya got a keeper there. Any chance we could see photos of the things DH has lovingly made for your craft?

OK, My hubby "supports" my habit in the grandest of fashions. He fabric shops with me and when we are together, more $$$ get spent than if I am alone. He bought me EQ4, then 5, then 6. Since he is a 'Puter genius, he has helped me every inch of the way with the design element. That being said, he has designed quilt blocks that NO sober quilter would attempt.

We compliment each other, when it comes to working with fabric colors. Where as I like things to coordinate/match ... his eye finds that contrast that make the designs "POP"! I tell him that he is my color consultant. He also does the "deep cleaning" on all of my machines, changes all the blades on my rotary cutters, and I wouldn't trade him for a bushel basket of any other hubbies out there *s*

My hubby sometimes sews something for his boat, like the seat cushions or curtains. He did try to make some shorts once. After doing a great job on putting in a zipper he ended up sewing the fly closed. Not just one seam but to reinforce it he sewed it many times. He was so mad at himself he hasn't tried it again. He uses one of my old sewing machines.

No. And that is just fine with me!
