You should have a quilter as spouse, friend, etc .... Whose stash is bigger than mine. Whose hobby is in the four billion dollar range, larger even than golf, making ours seem like rounding error. Whose hobby may allow for solitary work, but more appreciates a coven ( , a better word escapes me right now) of like minded to fill a room with chatter while working. And finally, who has determined my resting place -- in an urn on the shelf of a fabric shop, so I know I'll be visited.Zee28 wrote:I agree that when grumpy old Rumpole muttered SWMBO it was amusing, in that context. I just thought it was a tiny bit derisory in terms of all our (long suffering) modelling widows!

Maybe it's just me, but my girl actively encourages me to do modelling and often joins me at the bench and reads a book or watches a movie or something. Or sometimes she goes on line to search me out images of whatever plane I'm making a mess of at the time! Not so much 'She who must be obeyed', more like 'She who must be adored'.
OK, I'll stop now, before you're all physically sick. After all, this forum is not a Richard Curtis film!
