My entire family supports and encourages me, but like a lot of you my husband is my biggest supporter. He has excellent color sense so I usually take him with me to select fabrics. It's not unusual to have him spirited away by others to ask his opinion. The day I overheard him tell an inquiring lady that he didn't think she "needed to introduce a new element" I realized that he had turned a corner on a road I wasn't even traveling!

My husband is my biggest supporter! Once, years ago, when I tried to keep the cost down on a project and was considering buying a "cheaper" fabric, he told me it did not make sense to use "cheaper" on something that I was going to spend so much time on, and something that came from the heart. I did make him a lap quilt around 10 years ago, and he gets a little possessive of it when he finds me snuggled in it. "You've got my quilt!" he will say. One of the first things he did when we moved, was to help me get my quilt studio up and running. He suprised me and brought home a wonderful utility rack system that he set up in the sliding doors closet for storing all of my fabric. Then bought an inexpensive 3' x 6' book shelf for my quilt books, short fabric bolts and such. But, the best thing is, I do not have to "sneak" fabric into the house,like some of my friends have to do. He's well aware of the quilting process and what it takes to "create!" I think I'll keep him!!!

Who is YOUR CHEERLEADER... the person who supports your efforts even passively? I always thought my husband tolerates my quilting until I heard him brag about a recent project to his best bud. He even said.... " Yeah she is kind of nuts over this quilting stuff... I hope someday I get a quilt. " I never realized he actually took an interest.

So who in your family or amoung your friends loves your quilts? quilting...even when parts get scattered though the house?
