Read this in an article and thought I would share:
Just a few quilting statistics: *The average age of quilter is 62 years old. *About 85 percent of quilters have a room dedicated to quilting activities at home. *On average, a quilter will have $8500.00 worth of tools and supplies for quilting. *A quilter will also have $3700.00 invested in purchased fabric. Is this you? I know I fall in that category. Give me your thoughts. :lol: :oops: :roll: |
well, i am definitly there, except for the age, and i'm working on that too.
|
Yes to all and proud of it. Just realized how wealthy I am!!
|
I'm also in that category! Don't tell my hubby how much I'm "worth". LOL
Added: Alot of my stuff is "old" so don't really think I have that much invested in fabric but my Fun Quilter upped the ante quite a bit. |

(lol its good quality just not much of it!) |
Well, I must be an oddball, LOL, because I only fit one of those.
I'm 35, I Do have my own sewing room, but I don't have anywhere near that amount in supplies and fabrics. I wish I did, though, does that count? LOL! Maybe it's just becasue I haven't been doing it very long? Give me a few more years and I'll catch up. |
I'm getting closer and closer to the age. I'm way past the room---pretty much the whole upstairs and it's almost 2000 sq feet. If you count all the machines, rulers, mats, tables, etc. I might be over on the notions thing or at least close. However on the fabric I'm WAY over.
|
That's pretty close to describing me, except I'm past the age...Way past!

"Maybe it's just because I haven't been doing it very long? Give me a few more years and I'll catch up."
Yes you will catch up, when the bug hits it hits hard! |
I turn sixty next month and the rest seems to fit me. I think the bigger question should be how long have you been quilting? I have been doing it since 1967.
