I don't have to hide my fabrics or anything else from my DH nor would I ever do that. It would hurt him if he found out and thought that I didn't trust him. He always tells me to buy fabric when I want it and takes me to get it. He even sews the edges of the fabric for me before I wash it so it won't fray so much. I can't work with it until the smells have been washed out. He helps with choices of colors and designs and placement. Yesterday, he came home with a piece of birch board to make my large ironing table. He praises everything I do and makes me feel like a pro even though I have a lot to learn. He does give his honest opinion when I ask him if something doesn't look right or how I could make it better. We have been married 47 years and our honesty with each other is precious to us. Each of us is happy if the other one is happy. I'm glad to hear you have a Prince, too. :) :) :)
