Some men are excellent quiltmakers, too. Our guild has two male members. Both have made some terrific quilts. We always have a show & tell and these two men usually have something great to show. One is married to another one of our guild members and they've made some pretty neat quilts together. The other is not married, so it took a lot of courage for him to come alone. But he was welcomed wholeheartedly by everyone.
As I recall Ricky Timms joined a guild when he first started quilting and look at him now. He says he was treated very warmly by all members.
Men can make quilts just as easily as women, if they want to. Too bad our type of society thinks any kind of needlework is only for women and sissies. :(
