He goes with me to quilt shops wherever we go, he finds wall hangings and asks me , "could you build that" I have a new 830 Bernina, how could I tell him no. He never had a quilt until I made him a kingsize for our bed, he loves it , I go with him to model airplane meets in Tucson, he goes with me to the quilt shop.Now I was married for 53 years to my forme r husband before he died of cancer, he never went with me to a shop or even looked at my quilts, never went with me to a quilt show, DH goes to the local quilt shows here in Lake Havasu,takes pictures of the quilts and helps with any thing I need during the show, That is how I got teh new 830, He saw it working at the last show,He sent me and my sister on a quilting cruise 2 years ago , Absolutely I would share my stash with him and if he would like to learn to sew I would teach him, :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: , Betty
Your reply warmed my heart. It made me think of this week when we were out to eat and I was trying to explain Batik fabric to my hubby and he was listening so intently. He will gladly take me to quilt shops when we travel (and has been known to find some on google before we go) but waits in the car so he isn't as involved as your hubby but he is appreciative of how much this means to me. He's even asked when I come out of a shop with nothing, "What's wrong?" Not that that happens very often:)
