Very cool!! The description of White sounds like my DH...6'2", 280. He makes beautiful quilts mostly as gifts. We have a couple of men in our quilt guild. This is not "Ladies Only" any more!! Glad to see it!!

my friend drives a semi truck and has been thinking of getting a sewing machine to take in the truck with her

If we were to go back on the road, I'd for sure have a sewing machine with me!
It's a possibility! I kinda miss the road...

Thanks for sharing such an awesome article!!! :D
I never thought of creativity as being gender specific and
this proves it!!

I did have a sewing machine while on the road. It saves your sanity while waiting on loads. Some days I miss being on the road, until i think of snow in the mountains, then I'm glad I'm home.

Oh, and I used to be married to a truck driver...he didnt sew,but it was so neat to meet diffrent people from all over....I used to love talking to the drivers with pets, ask all kinds of nosey questions about their pets, but I never got to meet anyone quilting, one knitterthough!
