Has anyone else started a project only to discover that you were short black fabric???

That happened to me this afternoon but my DH came to the rescue.

He called me on his way home from work and asked me if I needed anything and when I said that I did not have the fabric I needed for a project he offered to stop and buy it for me :-)

I just wanted to brag on him :-)

Wow!!! He is a Keeper for sure.

What a sweetheart!

Sometimes when DH is starting on his way home and he knows I am already there, he might ask if I need anything...and yes...he has even picked up quilting supplies.

I think we both have keepers!

wow, he is a keeper, glad you found the material!

Wow you definitely have a keeper there!!!

My DH is so good too. I am doing at least 3-4 things a week with other quilters and always quiltnig at home. He is so sweet to allow me all this time. Neither of us works now. I keep him in lumber so he can work in his shop.LOL. He is defintely a keeper. You are lucky to find matching black. Here lately there are so many shades.

Awwwwwwwww sweet!

WHAT A GUY!!!

That was a wonderful thing to do. So thoughtful. I nearly always need to make a trip to the fabric store before finishing a quilt. I'm always short of something.

I learned that it is very hard to match black fabric. Almost impossible if you don't buy the exact brand off the same bolt. Good luck!

Aw, sweet guy!

I didn't need to match black fabric . . . I didn't have ANY black fabric

What a sweetie :mrgreen: Glad he was able to help you out :thumbup:

You've got a keeper and I do too! If we're out doing errands, he always asks me if I want to go shopping for fabric and he buys most of the time too!!

what a guy!

Mine let me go to Paducah AND Keepsake Quilting on our trip!

Aw that's a great guy you have there. At least it was a color you could send him for! (As opposed to blue... which blue?)

When he got to the store he called because there were multiple types of black :-) He wanted to make sure he got the right one :-)

Man! He is very well trained...and really cares to give his best for you!!!

bragging,too. bought a great sewing lamp from joanns 7 loved it !bf went the next day & bought another one for my other machine asa surprize !!!!!he's a keeper !

The same goes for white

What a Keeper!!!

what a Nice Guy...

My Ex and his family NEVER understood, never appreciated and never commented on my quilting or quilts.

He's "difinitely a keeper"!!!!!!!!

we must be related. I quilt and my husband works in wood. :D :-D

Very nice man, and definitely a keeper!

WOW! what a great guy and well informed to take on that task. He definitely knows what is important to you and deserves to be bragged about. Thanks for sharing.

i have ran out of black material . and bought more only to find there is a million different shades of black. and i bought the wrong one

We were visiting our daughter in Connecticut last week after her graduation. We went to a quilt store and DH ended up helping another lady find fabric to match a knit bag she was making. I should consider renting him out, he actually is very good at coordinating colors and fabrics.
His hobby is wood carving and he can spend as much on wood and wood working tools as I can in a quilt shop!

I find if I ask my DH to pick up some fabric for me he usually buys more fabric than I asked and something else, too. Yeah, think Ill keep him.

He sounds like my husband. We are blessed!

He is a dear husband!

well he sounds like he needs to be bragged about !!!
there are not to many men that will go to a fabric shop , let a lone go in by himself!!

My husband would have a time processing what and where to go for what I may need. But, he knows what prints and colors go the best together when I am charting a new quilt. Darn it, he is usually right!!

My DH hasn't offered to pick up quilting supplies, but since I've had hip replacement surgery, he gets my TED hose (support stockings) on every morning for me. He's definitely a keeper! He's getting his own quilt as soon as I can sit long enough at a time to do some sewing...I'm thinking of doing the Jelly Roll Classic Sampler Quilt, but will use the twelve blocks as the center, and add wider borders to make a larger quilt.

I've had "JUST enough" of the feature fabric for a quilt and when I finished the last block, I accidentally rotary cut into previously sewn blocks. (Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!) So I had to find a creative way to fix that mess. There was no more fabric to be had. Lucky you.

I doubt I could get my husband to step foot inside a fabric store, he'd be lost. I have to get my own supplies if I need them. You're so lucky your husband is so supportive 'cause mine isn't.

You ladies are as lucky as I am to have our husbands.

MIne also shops with me for quilt fabric and has stopped to pick up something for me at LQS on his way home.

He also does most of the grocery shopping and does all the vacuuming, including my sewing room! Of course, he does have field-trial dogs that come into the house and shed like crazy. LOL

I don't complain about dog hair and he vacuums two or three times a week.

We are a lucky bunch!

Wow, my DH would never do that. He would pick up other things, but no way would he attempt to get a fabric from a fabric store. Kudos to your DH! :thumbup:
