My husband is quite involved in my quilting life. Visits and enjoys shows, shops quilt shops. Both of my sons and my nephew are very talented Quilters. My nephew put a gal ( in her place) about 15 years ago- letting her know- Men have Ruled the textile world for centuries. Women are the newbies when it comes to sewing, designing, creating. Any women who feel ( justified) in being negative toward guys need to take a step back.
