Having owned a Quilt shop I have seen many husbands upset by their wife quilting. After talking to them,It came up to that many of them were jealous that their wives were so intense about the project they were working on the husband felt left left out! The want to be your center in life. Some of the older generations felt that quilting was only for women and they could not get involved.
Please keep your quilting going it is a stress re leaver and a moral booster!

My hubby is supportive too and will help me match material too.

Any person who does not have a hobby will never understand those who like to keep busy with theirs. My husband understands!!!!!His hobby is more expensive than mine. You can tell by my avatar....he builds model airplanes. Even though we are on a fixed income, he makes sure I have what I need to keep any project I am working on progressing. I LOVE HIM!!!

My husband drives me to shop hops and goes in to get his free fat quarter. How cool is that? He truly is Mr. Wonderful (that's what I call him)

Sorry you have to hear remarks like that after all you pleasure of sewing. Have you made him a quilt?

Maybe you could schedule time together that doesn't include needles or remote controls? Agree on two hours a week that will be just for the two of you, and resurrect a common interest you had when you were dating. Surely he didn't watch TV only then?

My hubby is very supportive of anything that I do. Actually the most awesome quilt that I have made is a light house that I make for him. He thought it was amazing.

We have a general understanding. If I just need a quick fat quarter okay he's in but I don't ask him to go fabric shopping with me and he is all good with whatever.

Could it be that many husbands want to be their wifes' passion but don't know how to ask?

My husband is the love of my life. He has had hobbies all his life. I never had time for them - kids, house, went to college at night, worked - all that ate up my 'free' time!

Now I'm retired, the kids are grown and on their own and I do have time. I sewed when I was a teenager and a little bit when I was first married. Then, everything else became a higher priority. So I bought myself a little cheapo Brother (which I love - it is a work horse!) and some fabric and started quilting. He is happy I have a hobby, but had no idea how much it would cost!

We just enjoy each other and are happy to see each other busy and enjoying ourselves. And we definitely don't need to be together all the time or share everything.

My husband watches alot of tv...when he is not working. He does love to run and we both used to run together..but knee surgery put running out of my life. I hate it....but I do have plenty of hobbies...but right now it is quilting and embroidery. He never complains about it and sometimes even comes into my sewingroom and comments on how nice the project I'm working on looks. He is supportive of any hobby I am involved with. I guess I am truly blessed.

My husband loves Golden Corral, too. I have to say that the one by us does have excellent vegetables. We go together most of the time - as you say, it is quality time. And I have to eat something anyway.
