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.

NO!

*27 years old
*Sew at the kitchen table.
*Even with my Brother maching I MIGHT have 1500 dollars worth of tools and supplies.
*If I have 150 dollars worth of purchased fabric I'm lucky! (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.
