My DH is very accommodating of my quilting, and will occasionally bring home a quilting magazine from the library for me, but to say he gets excited about my hobby would be an overstatement. He is just as content to watch sports and play online games for hours in the family room while I'm holed up contentedly in my sewing room. I call it "parallel play".
He knows that creating is relaxing for me, and a relaxed wife means a relaxed life. LOL
