My husband REFUSES to go anyplace that has fabric with me.
He would rather have stakes driven under his finger nails before
having to "suffer" shopping with me for ANYTHING sewing or even
craft related.

If they are having a sale, DH encourages me to buy more!!

My husband is usually an enabler when I go fabric shopping because he spends more than I do on wood (he's a woodworker) and has a bigger stash than me. When I take him into a quilt shop, he usually just says "show me the man bench" and gives me time to shop. These days he doesn't even have to look at the old copies of " Field and Stream" because he carries a smartphone and surfs the web! We even make jokes about me "Farting" (Fabric Acquiring Road Trip), and him "Warting" ....LOL

Same with my DH!!!

I was in a mill ends fabric store recently - there was a gentleman sitting in the library area, reading his own book (not one of the quilt magazines). About an hour later, when I was at the cutting table, he came up to the woman ahead of me and asked with a smile "Are we in the home stretch now?" What a patient, gentle guy!

I have one of the very best .... he never says a word about my quilting purchasses - and i don't ask about hunting expenses....but best of all is his attitude about the house when i am on a sewing binge....."if it bothers you, you can write you name in the dust..... just don't date it". Love that man of mine !!!!:)

I divorced him long ago and moved a thousand miles away. Life is good. :)

I was out of town when our quilt store had a fat quarter sale. I made of list of the colors I wanted and showed my hubby my stash so he could see the kind of material I like. I sent him to the quilt store. He came home with beautiful fabric that I would have picked myself. The ladies at the quilt store are still talking about how lucky I am to have a hubby that would do that. He loves going to the fabric stores with me and ofen makes suggestions when I am making a project and often I go with his idea.

My DH has always encouraged and cheered me on when it comes to my hobbies and he never tells me what to spend.... that said, I love the way the original poster jokes with her DH... as I do with mine..... it shows that they not only share life, but a sense of humor!

Just got to work out a way of letting him know I want a long arm and they don't really sell them here in the UK.... (shipping could be high - LOL).

Hugs to all

Caroline

My DH even plans the "FARTs".
