I know that 20 years ago I was certainly not quilting or sewing anything, but at some point I began to admire quilts and especially hand quilting. Probably after my mother had retired and began making a few quilts. She made hers with hand piecing and hand quilting which is probably how she learned it as a young woman. I was able to buy a few beautiful old quilts then when I was still working. Once I retired, I took a quilting class and it went from there. So my point is we don't know for sure when someone may catch the quilting bug, but I wouldn't count it out. Looking online at all the blogs, etc. it seems there are quite a few young women who enjoy the "sewing arts". Neither of my daughters sew at all but the both love my quilts and I have one DGD who loves fabric. We usually make something when we are together. So I'm hoping for the best and I think there will always be those who love creating with fabric!
