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.

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 :)

Which do you suppose she meant? :)

Check out the list of quilters to whom the title has already been awarded:

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.;-)
