Honey, if you want to call yourself an Upside Down Table, we'll all just go along with you; no quilt police here I think! :D

If I put my nose in the air, my mother would grab my ponytail and tan my backside with it. Really! I didn't dare police anyone.

Don't you, just once, want to put your nose in the air and say...."Oh...is that ALL you do?" and walk away? Couldn't do it, either the guilt or my mother would kill me, but that's what goes on inside my brain with people like that. I agree with the others. Find a name you like (regardless of how quilting related it is) and run with it. Heck....run with scissors if you must! :) |
Why label yourself? Would a different label make any difference? Just do what you enjoy and don't worry about defining yourself. That only puts you in a box.
|
I'm 76 and at this point in my life I would just say "whatever" and turn heels, walk away, and go out to lunch with my real friends.

You are all so nice - I probably would have told her "oh, well....at least I'm not a snob like you are"! That being said, I totally agree that everyone may have their own definitions but they don't matter. Unless there is an official designation somewhere that we don't know about it is just their opinion anyway and there will always be as many opinions as their people. In my book, anyone who works on and/or creates quilts may call themselves a quilter. Don't let this bother you at all and consider yourself by whatever title you feel fits. "Upside Down Table" works for me anytime!
|
If you produce quilts, you are a quilter in my book.
|
I might be the exception! I've pieced a few tops. I've purchased more fabric than anyone here. I know most of the steps and techniques from watching videos....so I'll call myself a fabric curator.
|
I'm going for the Upside Down Table, myself!
|
If you quilted a quilt then you are a quilter. Even if you never ever quilt another one, you are a quilter. Your passion happens to be piecing and you quilt by check book. Nothing wrong with that. Don't feel that you have to justify yourself.
|
You are who you are not what other people label. You make flimsies so you are a quilter.
