I work quite often in a lqs and the owner (Dick) does all of the quilting on the computerized machine. He cuts fabric and helps all of the ladies & gentleman that come in the shop. We see a lot more men quilting and enjoying the craft. My grandfather made all of his hunting vests, gun cases, etc. I worked many years (20) in hardware and when I first started, there were a lot of barriers to jump over, but most of that is changing. Thank heavens. My husband does all of the floors, dish washer, his own laundry and the yard work. He is a definate keeper.
