Then, believe it or not, her husband retired, they bought a long arm, and HE began to quilt. Each club meeting she brought in a couple, then a couple more, (she had over 150 quilt tops). He became a master quilter from that practice and they became so happy that they had something in common. He really made her tops look spectacular......So is she a piecer and him a quilter? who cares....they make a great, happy team!
This describes my husband and me. After we got our LA, he got interested in the piecing process. Got him his own machine, now he cuts and pieces. I pin and press then quilt. We compliment each other in our process and get the tops done faster. We call ourselves quilters. We just do different steps in the process.
