male quilters
I'm a freelance reporter for the Ashland (Ky.) Daily Independent. I'm trying to find a male quilter who lives in Boyd, Carter, Greenup or Lewis counties in Kentucky or the Huntington, W.Va. areas for a story I hope to write. I'd appreciate the help.:)

I can't help you with anyone personally, but you could do a bit of research into quilting guilds in the area, or check with local quilt shops....they may know of someone with your specs!

If you come to Baton Rouge we have a male quilter in our guild that is also a teacher of quilting. He has entered quilts in the Houston International Show many times. Thanks PS He always wins ribbons
|
Do we have a way to look for QB members by state any more? That might help this reporter.
Also here is the internet list of quilt guilds in his state: http://www.quiltguilds.com/kentucky.htm Scroll well down the page for the list of guilds by location. Jan in VA |
Seems to me a reporter would have much better/easier/smarter ways to research male quilters in his/her own area than to go on a large international message board and ask members to volunteer information about other members without asking permission. Things are not always what they seem on the surface, just saying. :eek:

Hmmm...guess I am just naive. I think he is just researching for a story. Ray, if I am right, you might find a local quilt store or go to a quilt meeting. Male quilters have to buy fabric somewhere.

I agree. A reporter ought to have a better idea than coming to a quilt board and asking questions.
|
Folks, this is a logical place for someone with no knowledge of quilting to start looking for someone who quilts in his/her area.
Now, Ray, why is this story to only be about a male quilter? Plenty of great female quilters out there. Suggest you include both a male and female quilter in your story. The ideas of looking for Quilt Guilds and asking at local quilt shops in your area are both good ideas, Ray. |
There are several male quilters on here. I'd say the thread title will attract their attention and someone just might reply.
I agree with the idea of looking for local quilt shops. That would be a great place for some information. |
