Do you refer to your quilting as a "hobby"?

I am not an artist, nor a professional. I am a hobby quilter. Not everyone is.

Guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder....:)

Have to say it's more of a hobby for me now but I would love to become more artistic in creating a quilt in the future - be it a bed quilt, a throw, wall hanging, table runner, etc.
I used to paint and be more artistically inclined but don't have much extra time now except for following a pattern and maybe tweeking it a bit.

Defination of hobby: something a person likes to do in their spare time.
Yep, guess I'd have to say it's a hobby. Why not? It's something I like to do.
As long as you're not doing it professionally and getting paid for it. I think my crochet work is a "work of art" but it's still a "hobby"
