SHOCKING!!! :P I was actually quite shocked the first time I showed up to a guild meeting and found that it was 99% women. They always thank me when I bring my husband along and even suggest that he join because he like doubles the testosterone in the room. LOL! He actually helps me with my work too. I do art quilts and he builds a kind of framework for the back. What I have found is that there seems to be a disconnect between the art world and the land of needle arts. I think it strange because I come from the art side of things and I didn't realize I was stepping into chick territory when I decided to take up fabric art. I WELCOME a new guy to the fold and please BRING A FEW FRIENDS! P.S. To all you chickis out there that don't think you're making "real" art because you're doing it in fabric ... I've seen some of the best art in my life since I got into this.
