:D :D :D You won't believe this girls! Hubby picked up my new to me bernina from the quilt store a few minutes ago and while there he bought me the walking foot! You could have blown me over with a feather! I had told him about pricing them and gawking at the price, about two weeks ago! Who would have ever believed he would remember to even know what to ask for!
What a surprise! I would have never bought this after spending so much money in the last few months on my machine quilting table, new (to me) artista 180 machine, additional feet, cleaning, patterns, fabric, ect, ect. I am so very happy I could just float! This from a man that once asked, if you sew in reverse, does it take the stitches out? My Lord he does listen to me! |
He is a keeper!! Love the reverse scenario!
|
LOL, I too love the reverse thing :lol:
What a sweetheart. Which one did he get you, the 180? I have a 640 E and love it :D |
Wow, how sweet!! He's a keeper. I like that reverse sewing, to bad that doesn't work!!!! I have a 630e, love it but need to learn how to better use my embroidery unit and the software!!
|
They can surprise us! What a great guy!
|
wow, what a sweetheart...your a lucky lady :D
|
What a sweetie!!
|
How sweet and how funny....you lucky dog......:-)......
|
Thank you all so much for sharing this with me! I am stunned ... really! After twenty some years of thinking he never listens, he does something like this. He is a great guy though after all these years, don't get me wrong. I just have to give him credit where it is deserved now!
I think it was his brush with death almost a year ago to the day that has made the difference. |
He is a keeper. What a wonderful surprise. Give him a big hug and kiss.

You've got yourself a great guy!
|
Yep, he's a keeper :wink:
|
WOOHOO!! Hang on to him!!!
|
Just when you think you could kill them (just kidding) they go and do sommething so sweet you think well maybe I can do this another 12 years.lol lol ENJOY
|
WHAT A KEEPER !!!
|
What a tremendously considerate guy, he certainly listens good.
|
Congrats on your new Bernina AND your new walking foot. What a great hubby you have!!!
|
What a wonderful man you have there. Okay, what did you do to earn all that? LOL You are lucky in more than one way. Really, a man that listens????
|
LOL...i'd like a machine that goes in 'that' reverse too! lucky girl :D
|
Yes you are all right ... He is the tops! He is really special, always has been. But, I am sure you gals have special guys too. Like attracts like ... right? I haven't known very many quilter's that weren't special people with wonderfully big hearts.
Ha ha ha I didn't do anything different that I know of. Lol! :roll: Thanks ever so much for celebrating with me. I LOVE good surprises. |

yeah, much as I love mine and won't trade him in, now that I got him broke in...did what I could :roll: ....I never met the male creature that listened closer than 'survival rate'...and sometimes they push that limit!!! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: |
He's definitely a keeper!
Hubby tells everyone of my "obsession" but does it jokingly. He doesn't complain, only that his quilt is not done yet! My hobby doesn't spill into the household budget so he can't complain. And I've contained it- I only occupy one room now. |
I had to cover my mouth to muffle the laugh about the reverse stitching... everyone is still asleep right near me in the living room.
How wonderful for you... about the machine AND the husband! |
I just love how you girls understand how this would make you feel. Most people would just say,"Oh that's nice", while you are jumping up and down with glee inside like a five year old. Kinda spoiling the whole thing, ya know? BIG, big hugs to you all you sweet ladies.
Now I have to think of something that would just tickle him beyond belief like he has done for me. Oh Oh I know! I think I will clean up the garage! It isn't real bad, but, I need to purge many boxes of stored memories from there and make a donation to salvation army. He will not believe that act. what do you girls think? enough? :?: |
I am thrilled for you! My husband does have a brother! LOL That is something myhusband would do.
I bought some fabric to make a friend of mine a quilt. I am a flowery kinda girl, she is not. So I bought a bunch of batiks. I had asked my husband first if it was o.k. We are really strapped for a while. He said to be reasonable but gave me the go ahead. I spent $107.00. OMGoodness! I told him what I had spent and he looked at me rather sad and said the fabric I had seen at a local shop on sale and drooled over we could not afford now. He said he had wanted to buy it for me for Valentines day. Oh I was sad but knew I needed to get the fabric for my friend. Well on Valentines day he gave me a package and there it was,the very fabric I LOVED. I didn't even think he really paid attention to me when I showed it to him! Our guys are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your man! Have a great day, Sunshine Have a wonderful day! |

I think he would get the part that you wanted to do something that meant something to him, just like he did for you. How sweet, like the honeymoon days of, "no, honey, what would you like to do...where do you want to eat,...what movie do you want to see? what makes your little heart go pitter pat?" :D :D :D |
Thanks so much ladies! Your the best ..... Really!
I am glad to hear other gals on the board have had thier hubby's surprise them lately. My hubby would never go and have fabric cut for me. He would just give me a certificate or something. That is one special guy you have there alaskasunshine. Tee hee hee the discription of the honeymoon talking is so funny, Quiltncrazy. |
He sounds like a really great guy - hang on to him! And to think they never listen to you!
|
Keep That Man!!!
|
My husband did nearly the same for me when my little Bernina 810 "passed away" last year after 29 years. Inconsolable and unable to live without a sewing machine, he told me to go get a replacement and I chose the Bernina Aurora 430. Then he very quietly paid the off the credit card bill for Mother's Day. Love him to pieces!
|
Sounds like that man is a real KEEPER! I'm happy for you. My DH is the BEST, too.
|
I agree on the reverse sewing. Makes me think of the Sit and Sew where we created a new wish list for the next greatest sewing machine. One woman wanted a clock on hers. I want one that 'un'sews. Just think of the hours that would save!
|
He is a treasure. No chance of my man doing anything like that. He rings my daughters to find out what he can get me for birthdays. I would be happy with a quilt shop voucher or magazine subscription. In my dreams.
|
your lucky kiddo :D
|
What a great guy.
|
Awe, that is so awesome!!! Soooo cool how he surprised you. Yes, my hubby NEVER does sewing surprises either lol, so last week when i made a sewing blunder, he spent 3 hours! helping me audition and find a fabric substitute...couldnt believe it....oh and god, LOVE your reverse story!!!!! LOL LOL LOL
|
What a great hubby you have. And don't we all wish it was that easy to take out the stitches--LOL
