Do you refer to your quilting as a "hobby"?
#1
I'm unsure where my distaste for the word "hobby" stems from, but it feels like people are minimizing the commitment a quilt requires when they refer to my quilting as a "hobby". Stamp collecting is a hobby. I like to think of it more as an art form, in which I have "vision", and then skillfully bring that to fruition. Just curious how you all feel about it. :?

Haven't ever thought about it. As a lot of my quilts are made for abused/neglected children I'm just happy to help. I suppose like any art form some will like it some won't, some will understand it others won't.

yes i consider it a hobby as well as art, any artform to me can be a hobby, doesn't take away from it being artistic. A hobby is something you do in your spare time for fun and since its not my job i consider it a hobby
