I think we're all fabric artists! I design my own patterns, piece my own tops, quilt my own quilts on my longarm (now that my hands no longer allow me to do the hand quilting I used to love to do), and do my own labels and binding. But I think every single stage is also done by other artists who only do one or a few of those things. And who's to say which, if any, of those is the most important? I would guess it's the thing that gives you JOY! Isn't that why we quilt to begin with??
