Thanks so much for the morning Chuckle, we all need one with our first cups of coffee

I have always sewn in one fashion or another...clothes, baby clothes, quilts, etc. I love fabric, and luckily for me, fabric is still cheaper than m/c parts and accessories which is my DH downfall !! So I never hide from him, I just share my haul with him, and he is always eager to see what I have created this time.

I better not let DH know this, he may start to get rid of my fabric little by little. Ye gads, what a thought. hehe

I had my husband read this, and his comment was, "That is clever," as he just shook his head. It's cute. Thanks a lot for our chuckle for the day. Incidentally my husband does sometimes go fabric shopping with me, and recently helped me reorganize my fabric room (two hours a day for 4 or 5 days). Yes, he's a keeper.

I didn't think this was all my fault.

I'm totally believing this. It explains so much!

OMG! So that's what happened to me! I thought I had been overtaken, but now that I know the truth I feel so much better! I just might have to go to a LQS to test the theory! BTW, I went to a quilt show last Friday with the intention of just viewing beautiful quilts & walked out with over $100 of fabric, patterns & treats for me! LOL, I wasn't going to spend that much before going in!! Well, I had a fun day with friends, quilts & fabric. What could be better?

I use to believe that too,but my DH always knew about my new purchases -he said there was a glow around me.I thought he was nuts but now I know he wasn't --It was those darn pheromones giving me away

I may be qualified to address the reason we hide fabric purchases from our DH. He is not directly challenging the need for more fabric, unless of course you used the mortgage money. Of course some demented males use criticism to exert control over their smarter, more creative, and better halves. In the sad case that one is married to such a man, he's going to impotently carry on no matter what you do. You keep doing your thing, you have our sympathy and support.

The conflict is that men have a tendency to look at raw materials and believe they must be used immediately. Unless of course it is their garage, man cave, or tools. So in order to maintain harmony, these poor souls must be shielded from the stimulus that constant replenishment of our materials would provoke. After all, too much and they might tackle those project they've been putting off and really get in our way.

Does this explain our habits to those who eschew the benefits of better halfdom? I certainly hope so because I have several quilts underway and that load of fabric to move from the flying saucer to under the bed.
