Oh this is a tough one. Since I've only been quilting for a short time, I don't feel like I can call myself a "craftsman" ... my skills may never get to the "perfection" level. Also, I'm probably in the minority here, because I really don't care about doing blocks ... although I have started a Bargello. I like to make simple, modern looking quilts. I guess the "artist" (or the "wanna be artist") in me comes out in patterns I make up and colors I use. My process satisfies my need to be creative, productive, and give back (as most of my quilts I give to a local nursing home).
So, I guess you could say I am a happy quilter ... not trying to win any awards ... but OMG, I do love seeing the work of those who are truly "artists". If I ever became a true artist, I would call myself the "Accidental Artist". LOL IMHO, I think we have a lot of "artists" on this board. They piece/applique/quilt beautifully!
