I prefer to go to shows alone so my husband never goes with me. I, however, go to his fly fishing shows and spent last Saturday at a tractor show. I enjoy hanging out with him and he likes to have my company. If I asked him to go to a quilt show with me he probably would, but I think I'd just tell him to go fishing. One great thing is that he has no problem taking me to quilt shops in the towns we go through on our way to fishing and tractor shows. Kind of a win-win for me!
