"Jill-of-all-trades" ?

I guess it depends what I am doing at the time. Primarily a quilter when I am sewing, although I do some home dec, and some clothing (alterations/hemming just to fit myself). At work I am an accountant, sometimes I am a pilot (private), sometimes a silversmith, and sometimes a home improvement diva!

Thanks for all your answers! They are fun to read. I admit to being referred to as a Domestic Goddess because I do so many things "the hard way". I, too, do all my sewing I possibly can by machine. But I do crochet, embroider, tat, garden, can, refurbish, etc...

My husband refers to groups I participate in as "little ol' quilting ladies". I, myself, am 47. I have been making quilts seriously for about 4 years. Prior to that I only did it when needed for a gift or home decor. I didn't consider it quilting because there was no handwork involved when I did it. I have changed my definition since then but still don't define myself as a quilter. I am a person that loves to sew and quilts are what everyone else wants from me now that my children are grown.

I am getting my first grandson, soon. I may actually get to start sewing again! Yay!!

I have a Mary Englebrite tin sign hanging in my "room" that says "Queen of Everything" since that is what I love to do. I sew many items plus everything from ceramics to scrapbooking. My dad calls me talented as does my husband and friends. I don't know, I guess I never thought about it. Awesome question.

I'm a quilter (I encompass the entire process), a knitter, and a sewer (sewist sounds odd, and a bit too artsy, fartsy for plain old me and my meager accomplishments). ~:confused:

I am the queen of the seam ripper.

I am a wife, mother, MIL, Gaga and Nana, sister, aunt, niece and friend.
I am a quilter, painter, crocheter, sort of sewer (no clothes except really easy things like pj bottoms for grands).
I am a lover of life and very grateful and appreciative for all I have.
I am a two time survivor of breast cancer. (Not that it defines me but makes the above sentence more meaningful.)

I am a quilter, I piece,sewand quilt all of my quilts, I have made more quilts than anything else. I started quilting at 20-21 and have made 108 quilts, 16 comforters, 10 biscuit quilts and 1 wall hanging.
Years ago I sewed clothes for my three kids, made doll clothes, including for G.I. Joe. PJs curtains, etc.
Again I proudly call myself a quilter.

I'm a "Fidget" sewing, quilting, crocheting,embroiderying, drawling, painting, gardening, wood working, beading. My hands have to stay busy or I drive not only myself crazy but others as well.

In my many decades of crafting, I have been known as "the braiding lady" (from my days braiding at Canterbury Shaker Village), the hooker ( the rug hooking days), nhweaver (my weaving days, I miss my looms, we downsized, no extra space in delaware), and now I focus on quilting. I tell people that I quilt - but I do it all.
