I don't know; do you think there are more people who bake as a hobby than there are sewists/quilters? What about that Japanese cooking show? That's what's cool about the television media, there are so many different kinds of people and hobbies and interests.
As shown by the Summary of Quilting in America 2017, it was a
$3.7 billion dollar industry with 7-10 million quilters, and that was
three years ago! It has grown every year.
