I saw the Last Supper quilt at a quilt show in NC a few years ago and it is stunning, unbelievable, awesome, and any other words like that you can think of!!! The maker, a man, was there with his wife so we got to talk to him a bit. He had previously made a quilt with this method from a photo of he and his wife together. Locally we have a dentist who makes absolutely beautiful and precise quilts that have won prizes wherever he enters them. He does all of this while working and raising a family. Even teaches classes now and then. So, can men quilt and still be "men"? You betcha and they do wonderful work. PS: Rosey Grier was a defensive tackle with the NY Giants and then played with the LA Rams as one of the "fearsome foursome". Did you know he also did a lot of needlepoint? I sure as heck would not be caught making fun of him for doing that!
