You will be able to prove him wrong very quickly! LOL :D
We have some WONDERFUL quilters on here that are men. I'm sure they will be commenting as soon as they see your post!

My DH knits, does cross-stitch and leadlighting. He would quilt as well but my sewing room is too small for both of us to share.

He is also very handy with a circular saw and other "manly" things.

Get your hubby to check out some of the intricate work the guys on this board do. He's bound to be impressed.

My dad worked with wood for years. I have been quilting for years and my mother took it up about 5 years ago and is a hand quilter. My dad (with no sewing experience) decided he wanted a longarm. He has learned to sew and is good with his quilting. He has a great eye for color and design.
Here he is with one of his most challenging quilts.

And then there is that guy that did the last supper. Show him that, he will be impressed. I can't think of his name right now.

Hey!! Check this out!! It's sooo interesting and cool!! It's about the man and how he created the Last Super Quilt!!

My DH has been quilting right along side me from the start. He cuts and sews, I design and hand quilt. A perfection partnership, couldn't do it without him!

don't forget in the past most, if not all, tailers were men. I think men have great eye for precision and detail. The quilts on here made by men are just beautiful. Good luck helping him get started.

Here in Delaware there was a gentleman quilter who also designed quilts. He started his career in quilting because he wanted to quit smoking. He was also a member of a local biker group. You can do a google search fro him under his quilter name name, Biker Dude or his real name of Butch Meyers. He also had a job at the LQS.

there is a museum in Colorado that is MEN WHO QUILT... find the web site...do a search...there are sooooo many famous men quilters...Ricky Timms; Joel Dewberry; Kaffe Faccet (well i think Kaffe designs and has a lady sew); - visit fons and porter's web site...through the list of shows they have featured a number of male quilters...also Sewing with Nancy---from Nancy's notions has featured many men...there are so many...and tell your hubby...
through out history MEN HAVE RULED THE TEXTILE WORLD...women are new

My Aunt taught me how to tailor garments but it was my Uncle, who installed elevators for a living and had hands like hams, who taught me how to embroider as he was taught by my Grandma.
