HI Ken, Great to have more men quilters. Welcome from sunny (oh, haha, I mean rainy!!) northern California.

My wife taught me to quilt about seven years ago, now I do the quilting and she does the bindings (I cannot sew by hand). We make our own tops and backs, I quilt them on a short arm quilter. Two of the charities I make quilts for are My Stuff Bag Foundation and Loma Linda Hospital.

Hi I'm Dave from Chicago. I recently got into quilting and I love it. I was afraid I was the only man who quilted so I am glad to find others. My great grandmother used to quilt and I had some of her squares from the '70s. I did not want to throw them away so I decided to see what I could do and one thing led to another. In my 3 months of sewing I made over 40 pillows and am working on my 5th quilt top. I bought a machine and a frame so now I need to finish the quilts.
