I met a retired welder who makes extremely beautiful designer quilts and wins in shows. He quilts, she don't.
Manly, talented, artistic, very sweet man. We also have a whole quilt guild that's all men, rather shy, but I think competetive among each other to challenging projects.
Look at designers, those who develop the machines, we're not all female. I quilt because I have no artistic talent, and my husband & 5 children all are very artistic. I know men who knit or crochet or counted cross stitch also. Seems a stress release no matter what it is, beats an alternative, and not everyone likes to go fishing. Enjoy
