There is a little old fashioned dry goods store called Goods that is only minutes away where the Amish shop for material. At Christmas I didn't know how to quilt yet, so I had no appreciation for all the fabric they sell. THIS TIME I am going to know though...
Norwegians are handicrafters from their early years. They all learn to knit by 2nd grade, 3rd grade woodworking by 4th grade they learn to do simple embroidery. Our neighbor boy is in 9th grade and he just made a small quilt as a school project to show he could design, piece and sew! He is an incredibly intelligent borderline Aspergers child, so you can only imagine how perfect it is. Puts me to shame! The schools emphasize old crafts to keep them alive.
Why more men don't quilt is beyond me because they usually love angles, measuring, planning and using complex tools.
