If we keep exposing kids and young people to things like quilting, I don't think it can die. I worry about kids who are never exposed to alternatives to gadgets and electronics. But there is something so relaxing and which just feels great when you do something by hand and create something that it uniquely yours. Once a young person gets a taste of it, they could be hooked like the rest of us. I never learned anything "domestic" until I was about 19, but loved it once I tried it!
