Do YOU know someone I’ve missed??
oh my goodness i’ll have to save this list and work my way thru it to see theses artists. Theres probably only 1 male quilter in NZ…. and that’s giving him the benefit of the doubt as i’ve never heard of even 1 … but there must be at least 1 .. surely???
So keep up the good work of promoting them.
Thanks, Margherita!!
Please lemme know who the male NZ quilter is so I can add him to the list!!
Matt Sparrow, Jack Smith.. just off the top of my head didn’t see either name..
Matthew Sparrow is #74 . . . I’ll have to look into Jack Smith, though.
Thank you!!
Doug Leko Antler Quilt Designs
Thank you, Kim!! He’s on the list now!!
Hello Raymond, thanks for the list of male quilters out there. I’ve followed your work for awhile 🙂 Thankfully, there have been so many males share within the creative process in a such unique ways to further promote the beauty of quilting! Feel free to add my blog to your list.
You’re welcome, Jimmie!! I’ll contact you directly for more information.
Hi Ray,
I love this list but I think you may have missed Anthony Jones:)
Hope this helps:)
Your work is great!
Thank you
Also Jerry Granata and Holice Turnbow
Yes, I know these guys . . . but, the list IS limited to male quilters with an online presence (website or blog).
There are many more male quilters out there than imagined (or listed) . . .
Do you have Dusty Farrell in there somewhere? His work is amazing!
https://www.facebook.com/stephanie.d.farrell.7?fref=ts
Thanks!! I’ll add his website directly . . .
How about Gary Wheeler?

And then there is Jerry Granata.

Andy Brunhammer and I, Jim Smith have been quilting since about 2009. Our blog, Quilts SB includes an almost regular journal and a portfolio of the quilts and wall hangings we have done and are currently in process. Jim.
Thank you, Jim!! You and Andy are now on the list!! Welcome to the club!!
This is a great list. Here are three more.
Dan Olfe http://www.danolfe.com/
Phil D. Jones http://www.phildjones.com/
Tim Harding http://www.timharding.com/th/index.html
Thank you, John!! I’ll add them directly . . .
Thanks for the list! I was beginning to think that I was the only male quilter out there. Every quilting group I’m a part of on facebook, is mostly females. Not that I mind, just nice to know guys quilt too!
You’re very welcome . . . welcome to the list!!
Pleasure to be here!
Thomas Knauer: http://www.thomasknauersews.com/
Thank you, Lindsay . . .
Check the list again. Thomas Knauer is on it already!!
Hi Raymond! Can you add me to this list as well? Also, I’ve rounded up some male quilters for a quilt bee starting in January and we need at least one more member! Know of anyone on your list that might be interested?
Hey, Molli!! Welcome aboard!!
Is your quilt bee physical or virtual?? (I might be interested . . .) Do any of the male quilters on your list qualify to be on mine??
Wow! I had no idea this list existed until I saw it posted on Craftsy 🙂 I was starting to feel all alone in this world!
. . . and now the list has grown by one. Welcome to the club, Mike!!
We have an all male online quilting bee going using the hashtag #ngaqb on Twitter and Instagram. As as side effect of this we have created a Facebook page for male quilters to gather and converse. You can check it out and join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/258973840932178/
Thanks!!
I checked out the page (and joined) . . . some of the faces are familiar to me, and others are new. I look forward to interacting with the group.
Frederick Nunley based in Washington, DC blogs at http://orangeexplainsitall.blogspot.com/
He’s the only guy in the Washington DC Modern Quilt Guild and does some amazing stuff with reclaimed fabrics.
Thank you, Anna!!
I’ll add him directly!!
Great list! It’s good to see there are so many of us out there. My partner, Scott Griffin, and I have been quilting together for almost 8 years now (it doubles the fabric stash!) I’m a graphic designer and I’m trying to get his online presence started. We would be honored to be added to your list.
You can find him at keptinstitches.wordpress.com
Thank you, Greg!!
Welcome to the club!!
I don’t see Mark Lapinski or Kaffe on your all male list. 🙂
Thank you, Annibee!!
Mark Lipinski is #67 on the list, and I’ve just added Kaffe Fassett. How could I have missed him??
Hi,
Just stumbled onto this page with your list of guy quilters. Would love to be added to it! From NYC but now living in London, have been quilting for nearly 8-9 years now. Was the former president of the London Modern Quilt Guild and a current member of the Modern Quilt Guild.
Michael
Michael, welcome to the club!!
Raymond, you seem to have missed Paul Schutte from South Africa – here is a link: http://www.paulschutte-artquilts.com/
Regards, Lesley
Thanks again, Lesley!! I’ve added him to the list.
This is a great list!
I am in the process of getting more of my stuff up online. Could you add me to the list?
http://www.sparkydesigns.com
You’re in there!! Welcome to the club!!
Would the 3 Dudes Quilting qualify for your list? http://www.3dudesquilting.com/ Love your list and will check them out. I recognize a few names there. Keep up the great work. Men need to be promoted too! Men in the military know how to sew. (I’d like someone say to a marine that sewing is not manly! HA)
I’ll certainly add them once I figure out how to list them!! They’re the first trio of guys I’ve come across.
Michael James
I don’t know how HE got by me!! He’s one of my favorites and an early inspiration!!
Feel free to add me to your list.
Consider yourself added, my friend.
Thanks for providing a great list! I’ve started quilting a earlier this year and looking for more connections with male quilters.
Brian
You’re very welcome, Brian. I think you’ll find a few more here . . .
I began teaching a 12 year old Latino quilting a couple of years ago, and it was suggested to me recently that I should begin emphasizing male quilters’ works to him. Your list will come in handy! How about adding Jack Edson?
Thank you!
I know of Jack Edson’s work, but have not found a website for him . . . This list is for male quilters with an online presence (website, blog, podcast, etc.). (How else could you contact them??)
I am excited to see this list. I have known a few male quilters in the past and they have been very inspiring. Both of these men have passed on.
I did not see Micheal James name listed in the list. I have had the privilege of taking classes from him at the University. He too is inspiring, and he pushes you out of your comfort zone.
Here is his website addy: http://michaeljamesstudioquilts.com/
Thank you very much!!
I will add Michael James to the list . . . I’m not sure he had a website when I started the list.
HI Raymond. We have a male quilter named Dusty Farrell from our area in Pennsylvania.
his website is http://www.cscountrystitchin.com. He has been gaining alot of attention for his quilting abilities. Hope this helps you.
Thank you, but he’s already on the list (take another look).
I’m a Male quilter. I piece my own, but long arm quilt for others.
My biz name is:
Quilt Hero long arm services.
Fb.com/quilthero
Instagram quilt_hero
Website is http://www.quilthero.com
Thank you, Doug! You’re on the list!
I didn’t see Kevin The Quilter (Kevin Thompson)
and The Quilting Marine (FB)
I started quilting about 2 years ago. In addition to hand-guided longarm quilting, I also piece, design and repair machines. I’ve designed several unique blocks and pieced and quilted about 10 or so of my own projects, as well as a bit over 350 quilts for customers.
I’m retired Air Force, so appreciate QOV and have done about 5 of them. We do QOV for free.
Thank you! I’m adding you to the list!!
Are there any male Quilters in Iowa and/or NE?
I’m sorry, but this list is not broken down by geographical region.
Bill Kerr with Modern Quilt Studio
Great list Raymond. I can think of the quilting cowboy, Dale Rowse http://www.quiltingcowboy.com and me, Reed Johnson http://www.bluebearquilts.com
Thanks
I would like to add my husband to the list: David Charity (FromEdge2Edge.com) He has been in the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum male only exhibit twice so far and does cartoon as well as human condition quilts.
Randall Cook here in the USA. Don’t know if he has a web site.
I’m so excited to see you have a web page now! Thank you so much!
Actually, the site has been around for awhile (since 2012).
Love your page!
Thank you, Jill.
