DH seldom comes to my sewing room unless I need his help moving something or changing the light bulbs. I seldom go to his shop unless he needs me to hold/push/pull/ something while he adjusts a tool or project. We are not a shadow couple at all. LOL

Exactly my situation too. I see a pretty piece of fabric and buy
it but I never have cream/white and or a plain black. We just never
pick them up unless its designated for a certain quilt. It takes the plain
colors to set off the beautiful fabrics so we do need both. Every day
brings new ideas and fun projects.

I am very fortunate to have a husband that takes me shopping and doesn't get upset when I buy fabric. He sees that I never over spend and I am always making something so it's not like I don't use any of it! I do have him convinced that you don't have to use your fabric just have it to admire on a shelf just like a pretty figurine in a collections. :-)

My DH is one of the good ones, too. He does not complain about anything I buy for anything. We are in the process of closing in our back porch for me to have a sewing room (his idea.) He just ordered me a new sewing table (his idea.) He doesn't understand, but does not mind my obsession with quilting books/magazines. And he really does not care how much fabric I buy.

However ... he just does not "get" the stash thing! His comments are along the lines of why do you need this when you don't know what you're going to do with it yet. Just make anything you want to, Baby, and buy whatever you need to make it with then. I try to explain it to him, that for scrappies you need all these bits and pieces. He loves me and would do anything for me, but he just doesn't understand having a stash! Bless his heart ...

I always seem to be lacking the color I need for a project. The greens in my stash are never quite right for the job or the pink has to much yellow or blue . If I need a red it's to gray, etc. So it's off to the store I go!
peace

My DH does not ask. Although, I do work part time for "stash cash." Even when I go over budget he never says anything. He has a shop full of stuff he does not want to be queried about. Hee hee.

Well, I have fabric and my husband has fishing poles, so we even each other out!

With me I'm just starting to build a stash but even at that he still looks at my bins and says you don't need anymore (he belongs to a couple of wine clubs) so my response back to him was "you don't need anymore wine either so we're even" lol Why do they think they can pull one over on us they should know by now we're the brains in the family!
