Comment on Quilt Questions by Csarina.
There are two vary famous US male quilters John Flynn and Ricky Timms.
I am sure there are a lot of other men who quilt. I have an Amish friend whose husband does not quilt but cuts out all the pieces for his wifes quilts.
Quilting requires skill and patience, it is something I have striven for over many years……The Amish are fantastic quilters, their quilts are wonderful whether traditional or the brighter ones they make for sale to tourists. I would love to spend some time with Amish quilters and learn how they manage to sew such small even stitches, mine are like hedge stakes in comparrision.
