John & Holice,
Thank you for replying to my post.
As for the book by Joe Cunningham every time
I have tried to buy the book is has been out
of stock. But I DO intend to buy the book first
time I find it in stock.
John - I love your story of how you got started
with sewing and quilting.
Gentlemen I would love to know more about
:
How did you get started?
How long have you been sewing & quilting?
What are your design inspirations?
Who do you make quilts for? yourself, family,
friends, charity, sell or just because.
Do you enter your quilts into quilt shows, or
museum exhibits?
What kind of quilts do you make? (art, wall etc.)
Do you have any quilting idols? (Alex Anderson,
Ricky Tims & Mark Lipinski are a few of my
favorites)
What are the "details" that inspire you then and
now.
Do you buy fabric to add to a stash or just buy
what you need for the project that you have
started?
Do you only start & work only one project at a time?
Or do you have more than one UFO waiting to be
completed?
What do your family and friends say/think about YOU
being a quilter?
Has anyone (mainly women) ever made you feel like just
because your a man that you can not have an interest
in such a wonderful hobby as quilting?
Did you have family members (mother, grandmother or
aunts) who where quilters?
Would any of you gentlemen enter your quilts to a MALE
ONLY exhibit at a museum if one was held in your
area? (We have the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in
Golden, CO who every other year (even years I think)
has an exhibit on display for several months. The
next exhibit will be January 30-April 28, 2012.
What if any stereotyping have you dealt with?
I hope to hear back from you SOON. If you prefer not
to answer some questions in the post you can always
send me a private message.

Male museum exhibit click on the link.

If there is a question that I did not cover and you
would like to provide a comment than by all means do
so.
I even joined a male quilting board (I donated to
support, but there is/was very little activity on
that board to help me with my research.
