Jan - I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree!
Ray - First I would like to say THANK YOU for coming to the Quilting Board to
start your research into male quilters.
When I was in school (a couple years ago) for my English 101 final essay I wanted
the topic to be "Men who Quilt" mainly because some of my "quilting idols" were men
in a predominately female "hobby/craft/trade/business" depending on who you talk to
will depend on how they MIGHT classify their quilting.
I spent MANY weeks researching the topic of men who quilt and although I had quite
a bit of difficulties getting the men quilters to "talk" to me (a woman) I ended up having
to take my essay in a different angle because I couldn't obtain the research I wanted/needed.
However with YOU being I male I am hoping you will get the research and information you
are seeking for your project.
Another website that you might want to check into is basically for MALE quilters. I am only
one of the females (less than 20 I THINK at the time I joined).
MAN QUILTER
might be another good place to try for more research.
I wish you the best of luck and someday I hope to be fortunate enough to be able to
read your article that you write.
