I am lucky...don't have to hide fabric because quilting is a business for me. I have my own bank account and spend the money as I please. But, I have been there and done that before starting my business;)

Also my husband hunts gun and bow! and his guns and bow hobby are a lot more in cost than the little bit of fabric I buy! |
it was not a matter of trust for tim and i, we are long divorced now, it was i never seemed to have the right shade of purple. he was a supportive kinda guy with my fiber arts business, it was the fabric, i became ashamed that i required every shade of purple available, now i can laugh about it, and i suspect he can too, i am a very old woman, but still looking for the right shade of violet, purple, or whatever, i hope i did not offend you in any way

How in the world did your DH get interested in LAing? My DH is retired but I am still working and making quilts on weekends and evenings. It would be a blessing if he would be interested in LAing !!

Well do not really hide it from him. I just do not tell him.

I never hide my purchases from my husband. He just teases me about the amount of fabric I have (a whole room full of plastic tubs). I tell him it is for when I retire and can't afford to buy fabric. Sounded like a good excuse to me, so I am sticking to it. LOL

My husband doesn't have a hobby except working and he has a backhoe, tractor, sawmill, wood shop, mechanic shop with bridgecrain, etc, etc, you get the picture? But I have to hide what I buy if I don't want to get in an argument. His purchases, etc. are to make a living, mine and my work are just playthings!!!!

This is not about money spent; I spend money as I please and he has no problem, with the exception that when it involves an expensive item (fancy sewing machine), we always talk it over before purchasing. His problem with my fabric purchases is a matter of my already having a three lifetime supply, and my sewing room is beginning to have a very cluttered look. I understand his thinking, and I often feel guilty, but the devil eggs me on to make "just one" more purchase. Guess I am truly hooked, and if leaving my pkgs in the trunk until the coast is clear helps to keep the peace, so be it!!
