My Husband Made This.....
 

My retired husband has been bored with all the snow and cold this winter so he asked me if he could help me sew. I was working on a QAYG quilt so I did the piecing and he did the quilting on the blocks. When he was finished with that he asked if there was something else he could do. I started thinking about all those scraps I'd been accumulating for a long time and decided to get scraps ready for him to sew together. This is his first quilt. I did the QAYG joining and the binding but the rest was his work. It measures 69x90 and fits his twin bed perfectly. He's pretty proud of it and I'm proud of him. Now he's ready to do another one...haha

Great quilt and wonderful way to help pass this long, long winter.

Cool! Looks like your husband found a new hobby. Was the work done using the machine in your avatar? Tinkering with the old machines is fun too.

nicely done... another quilter 'hooked' :)

super quilt! It looks like he had a lot of fun. Will you have to give him some of your space now?

Looks like we have another convert. He did a great job. So when are you going to get him his own machine?

Awesome................another "new" quilter !!!

That's awesome. The quilt and the story and your DH for giving it a go! Great work.
peace

Thanks everyone for the kind replies. I'll let him know.

Ginger...haha. I have 3 different machines that he used during this process but mostly he did all the piecing on my Janome 6600. He likes all three of them, though.

MaryMo...We have a very large man cave in our basement. Half of the room wasn't being used so I took it over last year when I moved my sewing space from a small 3rd bedroom upstairs, so technically, I took over his space :)

Good for him, he should be darn proud of it, and himself!!

He did a great job!!

Golly, he did good. That is a lot of sewing for either one of you. Nice!

How wonderful! My DH can sew and he is a very detailed orientated person. Sometimes I have to tell him to back off a little. Love your DH quilt.

He did a great job. It looks better than my first quilt. I convinced my husband to try some quilting once because he has a very specific fabric style (green with leaves mostly) He finished two blocks and handed it over to me.

Great quilt. Yeah for him.

Kudos to hubby !!!!!

That is wonderful!! I love his quilt! I would love to have someone to share my love of quilting with!

A family that quilts together.....good for you two!

Great job! Wish could get my hubby to sew.

oh oh u just lost your woman cave. lol. that is how it happened at our house to. now my hubby sew all the time.
your hubby did a great job.

I'm going to show this to my husband. I've been trying to find some thing to keep him busy this winter but he thinks "sewing is for women". Maybe if I tell him that a guy made it he'll be more willing to try it.
Wait a minute...then he'd have to be in my sewing room and that's my sanctuary. It's the one room of the house that he doesn't follow me around telling me the same stories, over and over and over.
Nope, I guess he'll just have to be bored!!!! :-)

It's amazing what boredom can inspire someone to do! The quilt is great, especially for a first quilt.

He's probably been thinking about asking you to share your toys for awhile! Good thing you play well with others!

That's great! wish my husband would do some sewing, but he isn't interested. He does do math for me when I'm figuring how may squares I was get out of a strip of fabric.

Another quilter is born! My wife and I love quilting together!

Good job!!!

Wow, this is amazing. So good he enjoys what you do.

I've been reading all these comments to my husband and I've gotten such a kick out of them, especially ChrisDee's...haha..so funny but SO TRUE :)

Nice job - sew glad he got involved!

cool quilt-nice to have a helper too

Congratulations to your DH! He did a great job -- wish my hubby would catch the bug. I've tried to enlist his interest a number of times by asking him to help me move blocks around to the best effect, picking colors, etc, which he was happy to do -- but he won't go further. : (

Good for him!!!

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Yipee! Another hubby hooked in to the craft. You go girl! I sure do like your scrappy. Bright and Cheery!!:)

Wow that is a great looking quilt, and welcome to your Husband onto the board.

Now you have a great quilting partner! Hubby did a great job......Keep 'em coming!

I would guard my stash... I think he may have his eye on it.

Kudoes! That's a lot of work for both of you. Great team effort ;)

Great quilt!!! My DH sews too! Its nice to have him involved. You'll find that you can buy more fabric this way too.

thats so awesome! i wish my hubby would take an interest in what i love to do! he's going to love it the more he sees it and he's going to be hooked!
