Just as in any occupation, there are levels to being a craftsperson or an artist. I've made quilts off and on for 30+ years (just recently started machine quilting when I got my new Juki TL2010Q) and make almost exclusively bed quilts or baby quilts. I love looking at other people's wall hangings and art quilts, but really have no desire to have them on my walls or to make them. I do love snuggling up under my quilts and do a pretty competent job in making them.
I don't believe that I have ever used a quilt pattern (used many a block pattern, however, made to whatever dimension I am going for in a particular quilt) and sometimes am stumped when I see people mention that they wished a particular quilt pattern came in a different size.
I also knit a lot, spin yarn, and love dyeing fiber and yarn (not cottons, though--too much water and mess for me to get in to). I have fun doing all my crafts and have never worried about whether they were art or craft. They just are.
