Was spending the last few days on vacation in Biloxi, MS. Had to check out the LQS in nearby Ocean Springs. So my boyfriend and I are in the shop looking around and he spots some blue fabric he liked. I am in the process of making him a quilt and he asked if I could incorporate some of this blue. I told him yes. He asked me how much he should get and I said probably 2 yards. So.... he takes the fabric to the cutting table. I heard the shop lady ask how much he wanted. His answer..... I'll take 2 quarts. Everyone in the store heard and all broke out laughing, me included. I think he was a little embarrassed when he realized what he said, but we all got a good laugh.

Cute. Made me smile. I'm glad he felt comfortable enough to shop with you. My husband also will shop with me. Or, hold up the shelves . . . It's time together.

:thumbup: too cute:)

funny, thanks for the laugh of the day

you will need to make him a cute wall hanging with 2 quarts saying

Tooooo funny

How cute. ROFL!

Hope he'll go with you again.

:)

:lol: LOL!

Keep Him! thanks for sharing the giggle...

I was in our LQS and a guy came in and asked where the nearest liquor store was-every lady there gave him directions to one. He said "I knew I came to the right place". LOL

:D:D:D

ontheriver and kalena, your stories are too funny!! Thanks for the laughs.

Cute!!! He's a keeper...he loves your quilts!!!

Gotta love him!

My DH won't even step foot in the door! It was 100 degrees outside and he sat in the car while I shopped!

LOL....Well, there is my laugh for the day. That is so funny.

That was a good one. Mine does not mind going to LQS, if he gets bored he will go sit in the car and make cell calls.

That made my day. Bless his heart for going with you and taking an interest in what makes you happy.

My husband would hardly set foot in a quilt shop. Recently we were running early for an appointment so I convinced him to let me run into JoAnns to grab something. I was sure he would wait in the car. He came in with me(Shocked). He wandered around and seemed interested so I actually browsed a little. He said they actually have some neat looking stuff in here. He will hardly set foot in my sewing room. He does like my quilts.

That is too funny!! Obviously he's going to appreciate the quilt you make for him. He sounds like a good one. :)

My boyfriend drags his feet about going to the fabric store with me. He'll go in if I promise it'll be an in-and-out trip (and he means it, he gets all sad-puppy if I stop to look at anything besides what I went in to buy). It's too bad, because he's got really excellent color sense, and he'd be handy to have around on fabric-buying days.

Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh. ;-)

My husband has gone to the LQS to get me a gift certificate for Christmas. Of course, I had to give him exact directions on how to find the shop. Using terms that he would understand, I told him that the shop was west of the Hooter's restaurant. He had no problem finding the store! LOL!!

that was cute. Glad he went with you.

Cute story!

To TO Funny gotta love him take him with you all the time

This thread gives a good start to the day. Thx, quilters!

Too cute!! Sounds like he is a keeper if he will go to fabric store with you. My DH usually starts out staying the car but the idea that he may find something inside gets him in the store before I finish. And he has some really great ideas because he is a true artist.

My mom, working in a drygoods store many years ago, asked a woman shopping for a bra "what bucket size do you want?? Very heavy set lady left in a huff.

That is too cute! When my husband walks into the quilt store looking for me. They look at him and think he is lost. I always yell, He's with me!

I once ordered egg rolls instead of egg biscuits at McDonald's.

That was very sweet. You gotta love our guys!

LOL love the little stories. Thanks for sharing.

Got to love him for even going in the shop. My husband walks the streets checking out other store fronts rather than enter the fabric store. He is so out of his element! Hope you post a picture of the finished quilt! Jan

Very funny!

That is so funny! He sounds like a good sport. My DH gets on my nerves when and if we ever shop together.

Any guy that is comfortable going to a quilt shop and asking to have the fabric cut is a Keeper! Hang on to that guy.

that's really cute. my DH hates going into the fabric store. He gets all flustered.

Thank you for the story and a good laugh....you just can not do that enough in life!!

That made me laugh....but it's really nice to know he'll go into the LQS with you. My husband kringes every time I want to go there. Ya gotta keep that guy.....

That's cute, I hope he goes with you again.
