In some quilt shows you are considered as a master quilter if you have taught a quilting class, won awards, etc.

QuiltE,
Good reply I'm Jack of all trades & Master of None also.

If someone had worked that hard, and had the distinction of having "Master Quilter" bestowed upon them they would not make the mistake of calling themselves a "Quilt Master" as opposed to the correct nomenclature.

If she said "Quilt Master" I highly doubt it is a true "Master Quilter".

I agree. I guess it would be like being a "carpenter master" or a "plumber master". I think if you have achieved the title you wouldn't misspeak it. I don't have to worry about it for myself; I will never achieve that level of quiltsmanship. But I am fine just where I am.

don't know about what it takes to be a master quilter, but, I'm the Queen of my Sewingworld - that's my story and I'm sticking to it :thumbup: sharet

This quote is taken from the Master Association site: http://nqaquilts.org/master/

"The National Quilting Association, Inc. has established the Master Quilt Guild to award formal recognition to persons who have mastered the skills of quiltmaking. Membership in the guild is obtained by demonstrating ability to produce a Masterpiece Quilt, defined as a work which reflects a consummate level of skill in quiltmaking. Candidates are required to submit their best work for evaluation by a committee of five NQA Certified Master Quilt Judges."

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.;-)

That looked like the quilts were Master Quilts not master quilters. Probably meaning that the quilts met with all the criteria for being the best quilt for that particular year. I'll never see that one, but after making a lot of quilts I do call myself a "quilter - for the love of it"! Edie

Those quilts are "Master Quilts" made by "Master Quilters" as defined by the NQA.
I've been lucky enough to see most of them in person.

If you read the site, you'll see those were the quilts that were selected (either by the quiltmaker or a judge) to be used to qualify the person as a Master Quilter.

It's quite the list.

I actually spent a little time tracking down pictures last night of some of the (earlier) others I hadn't seen. Still working on it.

DO YOU NEED A TITLE TO QUILT?
