mine sits in the car and waits for me, we have an agreement, he can take as long as he likes at the hardware type stores and I can take my time at fabric stores.

I'm a widow so don't have a husband to worry about but the grandkids stay with me a lot and they only go with me when I WANT to be in a hurry!

I don't care if my hubby goes with me. He does make his opinion known sometimes. That is really ugly or Can you use this? They have this on sale, etc. He usually strikes up a conversation with someone.

NO! I don't like shopping with hubby for anything. I do like to take my daughter with me.

MY DH has a great eye for colors and patterns! I went to my LQS looking for one more fabric to add a narrow border. DH immediately came over with a bolt that the saleslady and I just smiled at and laid on the table. After pulling a dozen other bolts and laying them out, she leaned over and whispered to me, "I hate to admit this..." Yup, DH's was the best in the shop for what I needed! So, he always goes with me and he's very generous about me buying fabric. (After all, I don't complain about all his electronic toys!) :lol:

Now get your hubby to help you organize your area. Then it won't look like a cotton mill exploded!!!
LOL

My hubby goes with me much of the time. Even better, on the second Saturday of the month, #1 daughter and I go to our LQS about 25 minutes away for Saturday Sampler. Supposed to be a 15-20 minute thing, but you all know how that is :)

DH and SIL will either stay downstairs and look, or go get a cuppa coffee in the quaint little town. They both have a great eye, and both love quilts. But sometimes DH is VERY opinionated. He is quick to turn his nose up at something that doesn't appeal to him. But then again, he picked out my next big project - all 30s repros. It's a complicated one, all curves. He helped me pick out all the fat quarters. Little does he know he's not going to get to use it when it's finished. LOL

I used to buy fabrics because they were on sale or someday I would use them. Now I buy ONLY what I NEED. There are lots of scrappies coming out of my house. I buy batting, borders if necessary, and piece together a lot of backings. The stash seems to expand every time I use from it. Go figure!

BTW - my husband never comes with and I never hide anything. Quilting keeps me "off the streets and out of the pubs" gggggg
