WELCOME FROM MANITOBA-Why care what others say.. Men quilters are out there, some fix sew machines, some quilt, one is a Cook/chef and joined quilt.. MY FATHER knew how to sew/knit. Made his own socks, quilt from recycled fabric. If you look at tutorials, on Missouri star quilt site, they teach to make totes, and quilt. Then, some organize bus tours, for quilters.
Wait till you enter a quilt shop, imagine all those colors and prints to choose from, not to mention the women.. Other, men will envy you.. GO FOR IT!
