The only problem I have with male quilters are they cause me to spend too much money. Their quilts are sooo beautiful that I think I must make one like theirs. I have purchased material, books, fusible interfacing just to name a few items to make quilts like they have posted. Currently I have a Dresden Plate quilt ready to put together which I received so much help from Chuck. I have a William Morse quilt ready to put together inspired and helped by Eddie. Thanks guys for being a part of our board and I miss it when you don't post even if it costs me. Ready for another inspiration from you.

OMGoodness ~ I nearly snorted my coffee!!!!! Thanks for the laugh out loud moment!

After 47 years together, I guess in our marriage ~ Wal Mart wouldn't let either of us be returned, even on our best days! LOL

My goodness alikat, now I have heard everything. I knew Wal-Mart had everything but I didn't know they had husbands. Is he a quilter and was he made in America? LOL

Good luck in your search, I know there are male quilters all over-I know that the art is being passed on to the young male generation too, as one of the best young quilters I know is a 12 year old boy.

Reporters will go anywhere and everywhere to get a story lead. This board is a seemingly good place to start. As a man who probably does not quilt and has no idea about where to go with this, this does seem a likely place to go. After all, it does say quiltboard on the header of this board. Just sayin'.

Kuntry quilter: One of your TN male quilters might be my son--from Macon county--but, if not, maybe there are three here in TN. Even though it is only machine quilting on a Gammill, he is really good. Took over my Gammill completely and I don't mind at all.....I might give his name to Ray.

Ray Schaefer

This just doesn"t set well with me.....Surely if this guy is for real a reporter for the ADI he would have access to lots of ways to get info without contacting the QB... I only read the first msg in this Thread but it sure sent off alarms.

Ray, I live in Owensboro, Kentucky and know an excellent male quilter for you to interview. He even hand quilts! Contact me if you cannot find anyone closer.

And now, the rest of the story: I was out late shopping and overheard the checkout girls talking about this "really cute guy" working in the sporting goods department. I was free and available. Went back to check him out. It really was love at first site so i talked to him. After that, the check out girls did not have a chance. We've now been married 16 years. He has increased in value, so I don't think Wal Mart could give me what he is worth. But I don't mind telling every once I. A while, that I'm considering exchanging him!
He is definately made in America. Not a quilter, but tolerates my hobby...just like I tolerate his dirt bikes. I like us having different hobbies.
