Alex Anderson hosted a male quilter in a few episodes. Can't remember his name. He quilts by hand using a frame. Does gorgeous work.
He quilts for 8 hours at a time - just as he'd put in a full day at any other job.
Talk about ability to stay focused! Even if my hands didn't get too tired to keep going that long, my attention span would never hold out. LOL
He's my Hand-Quiltin'-Hero!
