My son-in-law's father started hand quilting on a frame since he retired. He doesn't do any piecing or sewing, just the quilting. He is working to finish up a pile of quilt tops his father pieced (his dad is in his 90s and in a nursing home). He finds it very relaxing.

The trouble is that he doesn't believe men quilt. He is so old school that he can't belive that a man can work with fabric and be straight. Need some help in convincing him that men make great quilters. HELP

My hubby has been helping me make quilts for several years now. I have found he is great at snipping rag quilts. Take him to a quilt show and let him practice on the machines - that's how I convinced mine I needed a Bernina.

I never knew what he did with his finished pieces...but everybody in town knew about it and kindly agreed it was a good idea. J
