Perhaps someone should write all the quilt magazines and ask for more articles by men...Since the thought here is to be inclusive.

Myself I didnt give this an throught but opened my eyes for sure

There was a post in June from user "Sieberta" and the subject was "Male Quilter/First Time Posting". He's in Alaska. You may want to send him a PM.

Please all, be sure to read the original posts carefully before responding, it saves the rest of us some teeth grinding and silly comments.

The reporter needs a male quilter in HIS area of Kentucky.
The reporter is a member now of this website and can find any other member's user name just as the rest of us can.
If anyone knows of a male quilter in the correct area of Kentucky, they could easily PM the quilter with a link to this thread so that quilter could personally contact the reporter by PM.
If the quilter, or anyone else, has questions they can easily contact the venue for which this reporter works to establish his legitimacy.

Being cautious and 'private' is one thing we should all do.
Being a bit rude in response to a new member's post is another entirely, especially when there is recourse to answer the question without endangering anyone.

I am from Olive Hill, so I had to welcome you to the board. So sorry, but I am a female, I sure would like to help you. We have numerous male quilters on here I am sure one of them will be along shortly.

Jan in VA well said Ray we are not all rude

Not me. I am not being rude when I say that a reporter should have better ways to find sources. I am being real. In this day and age I would never ever enable someone to contact someone else, either by giving them a name or by instructing them in how to troll through a board. I'm just saying that this could be anyone at all.

I also am looking for a male quilter - what a great husband replacement. Just imagine!

I completely disagree! I know the area he is researching and it's very rural, pretty isolated, petroleum and coal dominate the culture. We're talking generations of certain types of life styles which includes gender roles being set in place. He gave his name and the newspaper he works for. That can easily be researched.

As of five days ago he did indeed work for The Independent in Ashland, KY.

I don't know this guy, but I live in KY and as I said I know the area, and have been through it.
