I've had women look at a quilt in progress and say---well, it's all raggy - i'd just throw that away---then some time later see the completed quilt and not even believe it is what they first saw--they still (don't get it) i have a friend who regularly tells me---wouldn't it be easier to just go to Penneys? non-quilters are all alike regardless of gender :) we can only educate them- and hold back our projects until they are complete-meaning quilted and bound :) |
My husband always tries to come up with something positive to say when I show him a finished or semi-finished quilt. He remembers that I've complained when I've had to re-sew seams to get points to match up so he knows that points are important. His ultimate compliment when I show him a quilt? "It's very pointy." He tries.

I'm sorry to hear your husband wasn't more supportive. Even though my husband doesn't always like what I make, he knows how much effort goes into a quilt. He's actually help me design some quilts.

my husband would have said the same thing.

Billy I like your flag and hope you show us the finished project. Sorry your DH doesn't "get it" :-) |
Too funny....but your flag is nice and I like the fabrics.
|
I like funky Stars. Did he count them? Lovely quilt. I love the flags.

bed. The next AM he said, "oh, see I knew you could just whip this up, and you even made them more comfortable somehow!"
tsk tsk - I really don't think he's just playing dumb about this sometimes! sharet[/quote] My Sons think I am Houdini. |
