I think this is a fabulous idea. My DH does not quilt, but he does have a good eye for color and he helps me coordinate my blocks from time to time. He is a very gentle person when it comes time to critique my quilts and he gives me good ideas. I so wish he would learn to quilt, but he likes cars etc. Encourage your husband and it will be a wonderful bond between you.

If he's interested I'd say go for it. Maybe you could convince him that the "Best" things to do are binding and basting. I would borrow him any day if he liked those things.

If he's interested go for it. Or maybe he's just proud of you and how good you are at what you dol Love him for it. Barny

I think that is a great idea,my DH worked with me on my first quilt,it was a( star of the ozark ) quilt ,the center star had to be apliqued, he did twelve of the fifteen and I must say,he appliques better than I.

Let him decide.

A friend of mine (not a quilter) got her husband to take a wood carving class at their local Senior Citizen"s Rec. Center. His work is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could get my husband to do that. I don't think I would want to share my quilting notions or my fabric with my DH. He would have to get his own.

Personally...I would never want to share my space, my hobby, etc. with my husband. Not that he'd be remotely interested. I think people need their OWN hobbies and a little space both emotionally and physically from their spouse. He needs something but WHY does it have to be quilting? Find him something to do that's HIS.

Personally, I wouldn't like it. My quilting time is just that - my time. We do a lot together as a family, and I love socializing and being with people, but I definitely need some alone time every single day and most of the time I get that in my quilt room.
But, if you and your hubby would find it enjoyable to share that time together, then I say go for it!:) |
I would say it's a bad idea because he might become a machine hog, but as a beginner myself I have to say go for it. I have just begun to learn myself and so far I love it. I feel like I get to spend more time with the family and at the same time it gives me something to keep my hands busy and at the same time I get a great since of accomplishment when I finish a project.
