21million that they know of, we all know people (men, liberated professional women, kids, teenages, people in their early twenties) who quilt but don't want anyone to know or think they won't be able to get into shows do to their age. As for amount spent that can't be right we all spend more than that. Maybe we spend that on quilting thread. We should form a union, we could run the world.

That's right, it works out to $171.43 per quilter. Some of you are NOT pulling your weight because I am paying way more than that every year. Come on y'all, loosen those purse strings!

That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't that be $171 per year? per person? Can't be right.

Holy Moly, I am into it for far too much this year. It has been a huge year for replacing a lot of my stash I sold in Alaska before the move though
