Love this answer too!! Anyone that would spend lots more to do all the work to make something that we are not even sure the recipient will like MUST be nuts!!

Look at my name, I think I may be a little nutty myself.

I am a crafter. I sew, quilt, make jewelry and love to make homemade items of all sorts.

I don't think too much about what I call myself, it's what other people call me that I worry about :)

I am a hobbiest...if there is such a word. I love all things crafty and have too many hobbies.

I call myself a wannabe quilter when I am referring to my quilting because even though I have been practicing it for the past 5-7 years, I not only learn something new with each project, but don't feel that my skill level reaches the level of "quilter." At least not yet.

In other areas of my life I am a crazy dog lady (we have a pack of eight), reader of (mostly) science fiction, space nut (I want to help colonize Mars or somewhere), addicted to Mah Jong (not the computer version), happy retiree!

Probably mediocre quilter would be the most accurate

I'm a " I don't do that kind of sewiing" person. I make quilts in my studio I do not want to remake your drapes!

I call myself a Quilter.

You just have to be careful who you refer to yourself. A friend refers to herself as a sewer, one who sews clothing, etc. She even uses it in her email addy, as in Annsewer which to most people reads Ann's sewer which is something completely different than Ann who sews.

You can call me anything, just don't call me late for lunch.

(Sorry, had to say it.)
