Moderation is the key!! Unless you are really on a deadline to get a project done in a hurry - try to avoid the all-nighters if they upset your wife. Obsessing over a new hobby can be a bit annoying for a spouse. See if you can interest her in helping with a new project - maybe something for the two of you - and let her help pick out the fabrics. If you can get her involved you may find a great hobby you can enjoy together! Good luck!!

tell her she needs a hobby of her own!
my hubby is so good about being (supportive) when i am in the sewing room but there are times when he wanders down the hall to say..."how's it going?, or.. are you about ready for a break?...or...are we having dinner tonight? :-D or are you coming to bed?...
after awhile they just learn...this is how it is...it is what quilters do...
she will get used to it...just ease her into it...and take a break once in awhile and spend a few minutes in her world... :thumbup:

This is what I do!! I sew during the day when my hubby is at work and handquilt at night when he's watching tv!! It works for us!! We just had our 27th anniversary on Tues.
