He's been sandwiching and pinning my quilts for a while cause he does better than me. I guess it was time for him to have the fun of sewing too.

Wow he did a wonderful job on it. Very pretty. Well done.

Nicely done. Tell him he did good.

Awesome job. I'm always impressed when the men turn out such wonders. He looks happy, so I think clearly another quilt-a-holic has been born. Batten down your stash.....or he'll be into it....hee hee!

Excellent! My hubby hasn't attempting sewing (yet), but he's very good at listening to me describe techniques (or difficulties), then gives great advice. I even showed him this post and he thought it was great! Well done!!

Great Job!!!!

catray 10-13-2011 06:20 AM

Good job and it's good to know now he will understand more about your sewing. But can you afford two quilters in the family. Now it's share and share alike when it comes to fabric.
