Shopping with DH for fabric. Do you take him along? Why or why not?
#24
I try to go without my husband. Most of the time he'll wait in the car -- he doesn't complain how long it takes and in fact will say "back so soon?". :mrgreen: But I do feel the pressure - especially on hot days. If he comes into the store, he talks me into buying more fabric - and that gets expensive!!! :mrgreen:

Mine too. He'll usually come in with me and browse, see if I need help finding anything (he can seriously find a needle in a haystack) After awhile he'll go in the car and watch a movie.
If I'm out in less than an hour, he'll say "that was quick" :)

My honey has went with me a couple of times, only when we already out together and I need to stop. He doesnt complain to much. He likes joanns the best because he can get things there to make fly fishing lures. And He would kick me out of the house if I had that much stuff. I went on a cleaning spree a few months back and tossed alot of batting scraps, before we tossed them in the bombfire he asked if I was sure I wanted to do this. He too encourages me to buy the things that I could never afford before. But a life time of living hard has made it hard to get a room that full.

I would never willingly take my husband into a quilt shop with me. He would be Dr. Killjoy..."Are you kidding me!!! You're going to spend $10 for a yard of fabric!! Are you crazy?". Etc....I can just hear the many comments he would make as I went through the shop. Every time I touched something or commented on something he would say "You don't need that! You already have too much stuff!" Having him with me would zap the fun out of browsing in the quilt shop. So, instead I take my 5 yr old twins. They love looking at fabric in quilt shops!
