New guy here.....
Hi all! Nice to have found the site. I'm just getting back into quilting after not having done anything for a very long time. I've been inspired over the years by my Grandma's work. She was the last in a long line of quilters, and since she's passed on, no one else in the family has carried on the tradition. Hoping to change that!
In looking around there don't seem to be a lot of guys into quilting, so I'm interested in seeing if maybe there are other guys out there who share a similar interest. Of course I'm interested in learning from everyone else too! I just finished a small baby quilt as a gift for a friend who is due early in the new year, I have four more quilt patterns picked out and fabric on hand, and I've joined a BOTM club..... so hopefully I'll be able to squeeze a bit of quilting time in 2015!
Hope to meet a lot of folks with similar interests!
Nate

There are more male quilters on the board than evidently you've seen. Some also repair. Isewman does a lot of handquilting. Go to the different photos and look at someof the quilts by men. Right now am not bringing to mind all but you're not the only male quilter. Great that you're carrying on the tradition of family quilters. Would love to see photos of your projects. AND BTW welcome to the board. My manners nearly escaped me.

Welcome from Al. It is always great to hear from men who quilt. I have several men friends who quilt who are not on this board, husband is one of them.

Welcome Nate! Glad you're joining us, especially so you can tell me what the best quilt shops in Harrisburg are! I drive through there often and would love to know where to stop. Thanks.
