One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
Quilting sits with crochet and cross-stitch — a craft with enough vocabulary of its own that the joke actually holds.
Hobby designs tend to carry the vocabulary of the craft, which is exactly what makes them land with people inside it and mean nothing to everyone else. The one design here keeps the wording plain.
If it will be worn while actually doing the quilting, pick a darker colour — these shirts meet dust, water or dye sooner than most.
For someone whose quilting takes up real weekends rather than an occasional afternoon. The joke claims membership, so it only reads properly on someone who has earned the claim.
Quilters own more fabric than they will use, know exactly what each piece is for, and are not embarrassed about either fact.
Piecing and quilting are separate stages, and plenty of people do one and send out the other.
The person who asks for a free quilt has no idea about the hours involved, and every quilter has done that arithmetic out loud.
The wording only works when it names the exact craft, so it is worth checking before you buy. Saxophone, Sewing and Trombone each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
