Thread: For fun: What do you call yourself?

I am a quilt guild member. That says it all. We volunteer, teach, share, and make quilts, plan retreats, have fabric shopping trips and hold quilt shows. I like sewist better than sewer. I don't mind if it is not in any dictionary.

I am a Grandmother! according to my grands I can, and do everything! LOL I do all kinds of sewing, quilts, cloths, leather (chaps, tack repair, ect.) beading, painting, ceramics, furnature restoration, knitting, crochett, embrodie, tating, you name it I have either tryed it, it's on my to do list, or will go on my todo list. LOL

I do it all, but call myself a long arm quilter. But....I also hand quilt (when pushed) sew a little (again, when pushed) to
fix someone's problems, tailor a little here and there, and will re-do wedding gowns if I HAVE to. If you want to upset me, ask me to alter something (or sew a button on!!!) when I am fixated on quilting....I can guarantee you won't like what you see......I think that everyone in my family actually believes there is a seamstress somewhere inside my now aging body...but there is NOT...nor will there ever be...! I also play the keyboard, the organ, the guitar, the clarinet, the bass clarinet, the oboe; I paint in acrylics and in oils; I knit and crochet. (Can you tell I don't have a REAL job anymore??) however, no one has ever asked me to lead (or play in) the Philharmonic orchestra nor have they ever asked me to have a one-woman show at any art gallery. So I guess, in the end, I am a LA'r by vocation and by avocation!

You crack me up. "Just nuts" sums it up for me as well.

Love this answer too!! Anyone that would spend lots more to do all the work to make something that we are not even sure the recipient will like MUST be nuts!!
