With as difficult as it looks like master quilter is to obtain it wouldn't be a snotty thing to drop into a conversation at all. It would be something to be proud of.
I think it would depend on the context of saying it.

True. But I wouldn't call them snotty and the quilt police without having been in on the conversation.

I'd rather be known as a quilt goddess. ;-)

Years ago I was on a navy base doing training on a system called TTS (Target Tracking System). One of the young sailors asked me if I was the "TTS goddess". It made my day.

My thoughts exactly!!! Just like the quilt police ...a figment of her imagination.

Looks like a "for real" title. I guess like Master Gardeners.
Thanks

Only certain titles are really protected. Anyone can call themselves a "nurse" or "lactation consultant" in most states, but "registered nurse" and "IBCLC" (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant" are limited to those who have met certain qualifications. I highly doubt that either "quilt master" or "master quilter" are limited. More likely, "ABC Society Master Quilter" would be. I'm a master laundry-folder, btw, in addition to being a BSN, RNC-OB, IBCLC and a buncha other initials. I was even a DO (kind of doctor) on my paychecks for several months. Shoulda figured out how to make that work for me... Initials can mean something, or nothing at all :)

To me there would be a difference between a quilt master (as in I am my dog's master) and a master quilter. JMHO

Which do you suppose she meant? :)

Hi! I learned this last year it takes 10,000 hours to become a master at any craft/art.

so...ten years at 1,000 hours a year. (wow I can do simple math :laugh:)

I bet there are some master quilters here!

Check out the list of quilters to whom the title has already been awarded:
http://nqaquilts.org/master/list.php

As if.

You can Google any of the quilt names to see the quilts.
Most of the makers are already well-known (or their quilts are by sight).

And, even if she didn't mean master quilter but Quilt Master, what a really obnoxious thing to say.

I'm a Fabric Purchaser Master.
One of the very best.

So there.;-)

What is even funnier is that the guy advertised that on his business cards. In my circles to be the big dog on the porch means you can't keep up, you can't compete with the big guys in the field so don't even try. The saying I know is "If you can't run with the big dogs then stay on the porch".
Yeah who knows what he meant by it. My impression was that he's the big guy standing on the porch barking loudly, presumably at everyone else. My husband said his impression was that the guy was making fun of all the other people who put initials after their name and no one knows - or cares! - what they stand for. lol
