When I first started quilting, it appeared that it was a dying craft. But since that time, quilting interest has increased by leaps and bounds. I don't see any reason for it to slow down. I have tons of people asking me where they can take sewing classes for clothing as well as quilting. They are willing to pay for classes. That says that there is still interest. I know plenty of people that can't sew on a button as well. But I see people thinking of sewing and quilting as an art instead of thinking only poor people want to sew and quilt. That's an improvement as far as I can tell.
