Never be ashamed of that kind of talent.

Being a seamstress used to be one of the five main trades. Nothing to be ashamed of.

He's a "seamster," not a "seamstress." (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/seamster)

You have an amazing gift why would you mot embrace it?

If I knew your brother I would order one from him. Gorgeous.

As a fellow quilter, that is amazing work, and amazing talent. Never be ashamed of being good at something 😄

Beautiful. Artisans should never be ashamed of their talent.

A lost talent, amazing skill he has definitely no need to be ashamed stunning work

My son is great at it, but it's hard for a man to get a full time job at it.

Lots of men quilt, and there are groups on Facebook. Have him join and watch any shame evaporate.

As a male quilter myself I saw carry on!!! Nice work!

I'm always jealous of this guy coming to Michael's and getting all kinds of quilt stuff and I'm only getting paper craft stuff. Apparently he had shown pictures to the staff and he's really good.

These are freaking GORGEOUS!!!

actually, he would be referred to as a seamster... if that helps

Wow, those are beautiful..

wish i could do that

sew on, dude! sew on!

So lovely! Sew on!

Wow, outstanding work. Your brother should join a quilting club.

They are certainly nothing to be ashamed for.

Absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of there! I would buy his quilts in a heartbeat! He could easily turn this into a professional hobby. Keepsake Quilting in NC would be an amazing source of both inspiration and materials. I travelled there (when it was in Centre Harbour NH) with two quilting enthusiasts from Australia, and was VERY impressed. Needless to say, they were both in seventh heaven! My dear friend made me a stunning quilt from fabrics I chose there. She exhibited it and won an award! Let the talent shine!

Your brother is an artist & fashion designer and has the best brother on the planet. 💗

Wow! Wish I could do that and I’m an old lady who covets this talent.

Beautiful - keep up the good work; you have talent!

There is nothing girlie about sewing..... there was a time in human history when tailors were everywhere and they were men!!!!! Tell your brother to keep sewing he is awesome at it!

I can sew, but this is amazing, I would love to have one of these quilts.

It's nice of you but I hope you had his permission. Also, is there a masculine form of seamstress? Might make him feel better. Also researching the history of sewing might reveal interesting things to make him feel less embarrassed. For example, as a man who enjoys knitting I sometimes point out that men invented knitting and it was a profession with trade guilds which women were not allowed to join because knitting was mens work. Personally, I believe in gender equality and breaking down stereotypes like these amd don't give a s**t what people think about me knitting [and. Anyway, a lot men do] but sometimes knowing these things helps change people's preconceived notions about what is masculine or feminine.

I would 100% commission him. I am lacking good quality quilts so please let me give him money!

While wholesome, why is this a "strange thing about the world"?

Must not be a seamstress...Seamster!

Making beautiful AND useful things is something to be proud of.

These are magnificent! Talent and sheer artistic genius must be embraced. Well done, sir!

They are beautiful

Maybe call him a "seamster", and also an artist.

There is nothing wrong with having a talent and using it.

AWESOME!!

Tell him he's a tailor.

Incredible workmanship! So talented

Dude, you're a seamstress? Sew what?

Those are GORGEOUS and he needs to enter his work in craft shows and county fairs. Never be ashamed of the things that bring you joy!!!!!!

Tell your brother that he shouldn't be ashamed. He very talented. This is not a gender exclusive. Women are called Seamstresses and men are Tailor's. Keep up the awesome work.

Tailor

These are gorgeous, wow, he has so much talent!

I brag that I can sew my own buttons on!

Live your bliss

They are not only beautiful, they are warm and cosy, and given as a gift carries love and other warm feelings. You don't give that to someone you dislike. Not to say they cost nice money since its always hand made. Some quilters are using old fabrics ... Seen works made with deceased family members clothes. So you look as the square and you remember that person wearing that piece of fabric. So it also can carry memories and history. Weather it's made by man or a woman- it's an art and cherished and valued all over the world, sometimes passed as a heirloom. If you can and want- don't stop yourself. Make those Karens hide under the rocks where they come from. And if something... I've never seen one bikers theme.... Or goth theme... Or sculls or any other "hard" stuff. Only your imagination and maybe a bit of money is the limit. I can see you don't lack in patience or hard work. Explore! And make this world a bit more beautiful one square at a time.

I would like to order a full size please

I want one

Wow! That’s some talent
