I'm so impressed by how supportive and helpful he is!
He isn't interested in my fabrics, or my books, and he doesn't know how to fix my machines, but he did build me shelves for my sew-cave, let me buy gobs of fabric, and has bragged about things I have made, so I'm gonna keep him anyway ;)

I think I need him to go to one of the big quilt shows with me. Hee Hee! :-)Who knows what I would come home with.

His free time is spent by himself drinking or in front of the TV passed out. He is a diabetic with stage 4 cirrhosis and is completely happy being miserable. PLEASE don't feel sorry for me. I pretty much do as I please and have been known to tell him to put on His Big Girl panties and deal with it. Life sews on. :)

One year one of the big shows sold "Quilter's Hero" t-shirts. I bought one for my husband right away. When he was able to walk without difficulty he'd go to shows with me and actually LOOK AT the quilts on display. We'd discuss our likes and dislikes. He's helped me pick out fabric, patiently holding different combinations so I could see what worked the best. When I come home from a show or fabric shop he takes an interest in what I've purchased. He likes to see what I'm working on. He's been totally supportive and encouraging. Even tho he's not able to shop like he used to, every Christmas I find a few fat quarters in my stocking. As far as my husband and my quilting, I couldn't ask for more.
