Absolutely! My personal up-on-a-pedestal-quilter is Karen McTavish and she is such a humble quilter...and she tells her students to be humble too!!! Just really like her as a person, teacher and quilter! Oh, she isn't on the list :lol:

I work at a bank and am the "stop payment queen" and the "ach queen", now I am training the princess to come dethrone me since I have other duties now and don't want to the the main girl for those questions. LOL

I think the lady was just full of herself. Master Quilter title is a very very short list of names. I do agree with the MRS. degree! I stressed and worked hard for a degree and never found a job that was better then getting married and staying home and doing what I wanted to do. To me a degree meant a better paying job, not a personal achievement or goal.

Yes she may have meant "master" with a lower case "m". :lol:

Sounds like a self given title to me. A master quilter or a quilt master would have to make every quilt perfect in all aspects. I'm sure no one is that good.
