Good Quilt Husband

     I have always called my husband a "good quilt husband".  He will crawl around on the floor to help me spray baste a quilt sandwich together.  He will walk through the quilt fabric store with me and give me his opinion.  He never complains about my spending money on quilting supplies.  Will carry my machine and supplies to the car when I go to a quilt class or QOV sew day.  I will call him to come look at what I have laid out and ask his opinion.  I always preempt it by saying, "I want your opinion, but I might or might not use it."  And he takes that well.  There have been times when he has absolutely changed what I was going to do for the better.  He even saved me from a huge design mistake on the bear quilt!  He instinctively knew my proportions were off.  His suggestions totally made it!
     When I planned a quilt for my daughter in law's birthday, I figured I would have 3 or 4 weeks to get it done.  BUT then my best friend from Illinois decided our annual girls' trip to Arizona should happen in January rather than February after the DIL birthday.  That threw a wrench into my quilting plans.  So the past 8 days have seen me put 59 hours into this quilt.
     While working on it, my husband has not complained about leftovers, he has been gracious to go to the grocery store and pick up emergency supplies (like half and half for MY coffee), quietly left his laundry hamper in the way so I would see he needs clean clothes.  AND I noticed the kitchen would have a little fairy that would clean it up.
     He no longer deserves the title of "Good Quilt Husband", but the title of "Great Quilt Husband."
