I asked DH if he could build me a shelving unit that I could put my stash in. I gave him the dimensions, and he did a great job! After I filled it with my stash, I called him in to see, and told him that was all my fabric, and (this is why I love him...) he said, you don't have enough!!!

Look how organized you are! It's sure nice that your husband can do those things, and it looks like he did a really good job, too. How long will it be before he needs to build a second one? :lol:

SulaBug 06-01-2009 08:21 AM

WOW!! :D What a great unit for storing your stash.
Your DH did a wonderful job making it for you.
I know you will ENJOY it for a very long time.
Way to go!! :D :D :D :D :D

You DH is a keepter and I agree with him. Nice case, btw.

PS Will you admit to a teensy bit of premeditation in getting DH to make it too big for your stash? LOL Sneaky!

That is really nice I have these kinds of cases in stores.

What a nice hubby and so smart to see you need more fabric.

MelissaK 06-01-2009 11:22 AM

He's a keeper and look at those nice, neat piles... wouldn't last long in my space!

gaigai 06-01-2009 11:30 AM

Oooooh, does he have a brother?! LOL

I agree, they are both keepers.

littlehud 06-01-2009 12:17 PM

He did a great job on that. And what a dear he is to suggest you need more fabric. How long is it going to take you to get to the fabric store.

sewjoyce 06-01-2009 02:00 PM

He did a fantastic job!! Yep -- he's a keeper!!

And your stash is gorgeous!!

Marcia 06-01-2009 02:14 PM

He did a wonderful job!! And he thinks you need more fabric too??? He's a keeper, for sure.

Your hubby did a great job! Can I be next on his list? :lol:

Quilt4u 06-03-2009 03:43 AM

Wow!!! I wish my DH was that handy.

adrianlee 06-04-2009 07:59 AM

Oh envy, envy!!! I told my hubby what your hubby did for you and all mine says, "oh, that's nice?" So that is as far as I got with that. At a resent yard sale I got a 4 foot high by almost 2.5 foot wide chest of drawers for $15. The owner had painted it light purple!!! I purchased a can of paint that $11 and am going to paint this a nice blue and it will go in my sewing room.

LOL!! Is he at least going to help paint the chest of drawers? :wink:

Jeannie 06-04-2009 09:27 AM

He is a keeper! Great job. I have hid some of mine under the bed!

wraez 06-04-2009 10:05 AM

You have a marvelous husband, a real keeper. Just the comment about needing more fabric is a tip off on how supportive he is of your passion.

Now, go get more fabric!

warm quilt hugs, sue :D

jbsstrawberry 06-04-2009 11:29 AM

Beautiful shelves!! He did an awesome job, and how cool is it that he doesn't think you have enough. What a special guy!!
