No way. He kept me occupied during our early years of our marriage going fishing and hunting with him. Now he tends to grumble, that I don't want to do that with him any more, all I want to do is quilt. :wink:

He even does house cleaning but he won't cook. :lol: He's a keeper. :thumbup:

Not only does my DH do the LA'ing here, he can also make & stitch on binding, he cuts very well, will iron fabric, uses and loves the embroidery machine, does fabulous wood working stuff, builds furniture, builds guns, enjoys reloading his own ammunition, and will help with the housework and cooking. Oh heck yes he is a keeper! Ohhh & he loves to go to Quilt Shows with me & will drive me to Dallas or Kansas to go fabric shopping if I want.

Yes, my hubby sews. He is a Parachute Rigger in the Army and has to sew for his trade.
He initially had a Juki medium duty inset machine, and then he bought a mitsubishi medium duty for $50AU from a friend who wanted to get it out of his garage. He bought the second one so he didn't have to keep changing thread. Poor baby.
He sews at home quite a bit and has made a small home business. He has a website if you want to look at what he does.
www.aussiespecops.com
Mainly it is stuff for soldiers, bags etc.
He appreciates the quilting and understands my need for material and threads. He has also begun to teach my 15 son who has made his own toiletry bag and backpack for school under his guidance.
At least he understands my need for a 'good' sewing machine and he chose the more expensive Janome I'm getting for its durability etc.
He also keeps the cutting table nice and clean and tidy since I 'taught' him how...LOL.

William won't quilt or sew...he claims it would drive him batty, and it might! This is a man that will straighten the prints hanging in the doctor's office while he waits for me! :lol: If he had points that didn't match he'd go absolutely insane! I do keep trying to talk him into it, but no go. He'd rather just buy me machines and make them work right!
I'm ok with that! ;)
