My DH is also great. He shops with me and is always "finding" frabic and saying what can you make with this! Keep yours happy!

I am happy to see so many of us have husbands with such wonderful qualities! Where I grew up, this was not seen...men in fabric stores. Of course, my husband is not from my hometown! He is helping me with the long arm he got me for Christmas. I don't think I was quite ready for one but it was such a great deal ( he found it) he thought I needed to go ahead and get it. Now, I am a little intimidated by it. He knows more about it than I do and is easing me into using it!

You are a very lucky woman. I am thankful that my DH has woodworking as a hobby and can actually relate to some of my quilting patterns. He taught me how to square up a quilt by measuring, not only the sides but the diagonals as well. He programmed out GPS with quilt shops along our vacation route a couple of years ago--but prefers to stay in the car. And he is my fabric mule. He works in the US and has my online orders shipped to his hotel and then carrys them home to me. Saves a lot in shipping.

I have a wonderful husband too. He took me, with the cargo trailer, 6 hours one way, to buy about 2000 yds or fabric from one of our board members.

What a sweetie you have! Sounds like a keeper! We just bought a new car yesterday and my dh stated (when he looked in the trunk) "You can fit a lot of fabric in that." Also (when we were test driving) "This will give you a smooth ride when driving on all those shop hops!" He's a funny, realistic man!
