At different times in the past, I was a seamstress, a crocheter, an embroiderer, a cross-stitcher, a macrame-er, a wannabe tatter, even a Tri-Chem painter (ugh, what was I thinking?) But I gave all those titles up when I discovered what I really am.

I am a quilter. My favorite techniques are needle-turn applique and hand quilting, but since I've been working at a LQS (the last 5 years), time is limited, so I do more machine work.

I'm a wife, mother, gramma, great gramma, and an old sew and sew. lol

I'm just "Me" which is how I often sign myself. I do many, many different things and "I" am a composite of all those things. To me, an "...ist" or an"...er" indicates that to be your primary focus and I have far too many interests to be either.

Mary Lane, I would consider you a crafter, just as I do myself. I sew not only quilts, but other things as well, and that is crafting to me.

I very much like making up words like: moosh=kiss and so on, but the term "sewist" just grates on my nerves. When an email comes with that term, I delete it without seeing what it's about. I am not and never will be a "sewist." Don't get all cutesy/craftsy with me! (Can you tell I'm a Maxine fan?) What I am is a person who enjoys making household items from fabric. Some things are quilted, some aren't and I don't label myself as anything but a person who likes to sew and paint and scrapbook and.... :-)

Christine-

I like this one the best!

I'm just 'busy' doing whatever I please.

In my past I designed and made custom wedding gown, I also did formalwear and costumes...guess I was a Designer/Seamstress. Some alterations and hems, I became a slave to idiots who thought I should work for free since I "just do this out of my house" (like it was easier there than in a storefront).
I did not touch my machine for almost a year after a "customer" threatened me and stalked me. (police action taken).
Now I am a piece maker(!) and quilter, a student of all things fabric.
Hello, I am Barb, lover of life!

I am a quilter, but sometimes a costumer. I make costumes in the fall for Halloween (grandkids) and for Church pageant at Christmas. Otherwise I quilt. Much more satisfying and I can go at a pace where I can be more particular in the results.

I'm a skydiver who likes to pet fabric.
