The Northwest Quilters Guild in Portland had some male quilters around one makes a dragon quilt every year. A few years back they had an all male show and I was shocked to see so many male quilters with quilts in that show. Had no idea there were that many in our area. Go Guys!!!! I took a ongoing painting class, and a man came in to the class so we were rather quiet for awhile and after awhile we got to telling stories and forgot he was there, till he snickered at one of our jokes. After a few classes he was right in there talking as fast as we women were. I think it is great to have a mixed group and would not be afraid to have them there. Jan
