My DH has his own tools at the upholstery shop, but most of those at home are MINE and they sometimes do go missing! With a perfectly organized tool box, HOW can my Craftsman 1/2" socket wrench just up and walk away?? He hasn't gotten into my quilting tools as yet, but when my sewing room is finally set up I'll bet he'll be checking them out. He already covets my iron!

No wondering whose it is. :)

Just easier to keep them safely tucked away.

There was my hubby, cutting table, cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter. He was cutting window shade films for the spare bedroom and decided my quilting tools were exactly what he needed to get the job done. Not sure if it's good or bad to use my rotary cutter for cutting film. I may give him my cutter make him buy me a new one.
I should have taken a picture of him leaning over the cutting table, carefully using my quilting stuff. It would have made good blackmail material for his golfing buddies!
Any other hubbies who use your quilting tools? He's also used my scrapbooking tools. Don't men have their own tools???
