I have a wonderful hubby. He does not mind that I have a hobby such as quilting. He is very supportive of me, he even helps me lay out a quilt and pin it. Shops with me for fabric as we don't live near a quilt shop, and when we travel, he goes with me and helps to color coordinate

my husband doesn't care as long as i keep contained to my sewing room. i do sandwich on king bed or dining table.
he does like my quilts and when i show them to him he gives me " that's pretty" or "that should stay here." he is a t v person and he knows i do not like what he watches. but if it is a movie i'll take baby quilts and watch and sew. he doesn't even mind that i have to have the overhead light on. so i guess he's a keeper!!he helps me choose colors and lets me know if there's enough constrast! he takes me to Joanns and helps me choose fabric especially if it is for someone he works with. we work well together.

He sounds neglected, poor baby LOL

That doesn't work for me. My dh wants to input and then he isn't happy if I don't agree with his suggestions.

Awe that is sad. I'm sorry. :( Mine just says-I just want you to finish a project. LOL I was looking in a Keepsake Quilting magazine last night and they had plans that you could get to make your own sewing table. I said oh, look honey- He said get the plans-we can make that. :shock:

Huge Hugs!!

My DH supports finacially my passion for quilts. In the last 2 yrs he has bought me a L.A,a Bernina 440QE,with embroidary, a quiltazoid, Dell laptop, etc. But every day he will say to me are you ever comming out of your hole. He will not look at my quilts and all he ever says is that Your Junk is taking over the whole house, get it out of here and back into your room.Makes thid board a feel good place to be.

Gee I thought I was the only one!! :lol: DH hates my quilting noise. I once asked him if he was jealous because I had a hobby and he said yes.

Well, he golfs, so I sew! :lol:

He doesn't mind the noise if I am sewing something for HIM tho!

lol, my hubs couldnt stand to be in the room w/ me if I were crocheting, said it made him nervous watching the hook move so fast. now, my SO doesnt say too much, he has his hobbies (usu out in the garage making some mess, lol) but he doesnt say much on anything I like to do cus after my husband died and I met him we've lived together over 16 yrs now but arent married(no kids!). When we moved south I bought property here even though I live w/ him and if he doesnt like what I do he knows I can move out in a w/e, lol.
I know he doesnt care for things that take "attention" away from him, and he doesnt like a mess left all over, but hes happy if I'd sit w/ him and handquilt, and we're converting a bedrm into a sewing rm so I can have all my stuff all over and can just close the door and he doesent habe to look at it. He really doesnt care how much money it costs, he likes what I make. I paint, too and hes always wanting to hang things I paint even when I dont like how they came out, lol. st

my quilting has taken over the whole house LOL, no complaints so far...he has a garage, barn, tractors etc to keep him happy...I could never catch up with him in spending.

Mine has had a hard time understanding my "need" for fabric, quilting, etc but NEVER says a word. We have been married for nearly 7 years and became "new" parents to his 2 great-grandchildren a year later. They are now 6 and 8, we are 63 and 73. Believe me, he'll tolerate ANYTHING that makes me happy! LOL!! Just remember, EVERYONE (even us) has a few "warts" - it's what keeps life from being boring!
