It's not your grandmother's quilting when there are numerous male quilters out there who are not only quilting but earning a good living at their craft/art. I'd include mention of John Flynn, Michael Shannon, Ricky Tims, and others who've been at this a while. Mention the amount of money spent on the industry annually. And add the amazing numbers of attendees at the huge national shows.....70,000 at Houston, for instance. You might also reference people like Caryl Bryer Fallert who sell their work in the five figure range to corporate collections as well as private individuals.

Such a broad topic!!!
