I am mainly a quilter. I do not sew clothing although I DO want
to try and make some jammie pants for my daughters someday.
So I guess that I refer to myself as a quilter or hobbyist as I do
dabble a little bit in various little hobbies (like pincushions).
I like shocking people when I tell them I am a quilter, because I am
only 48 and some people think you have to be "old grannies" in order
to be a quilter.
Even the men I work with are comfortable talking to me now about
my new projects and machine embroidery.
I even make the men and their families little things from time to time.
