Just a few quilting statistics:
*The average age of quilter is 62 years old.
WOOHOOO I'm YOUNGER!
*About 85 percent of quilters have a room dedicated to quilting activities at home.
Is 25% of the basement considered a 'room'? ROFL
*On average, a quilter will have $8500.00 worth of tools and supplies for quilting.
Tools and supplies? Nope don't think I'm anywhere near there.
I'd guess less than half that amount.
*A quilter will also have $3700.00 invested in purchased fabric.
Nope - No Way - I have no idea - can't be that much (at least that's what I'm willing to admit to)
:lol:

Is this you? I know I fall in that category. Give me your thoughts. :lol: :oops: :roll:

I have a small section of the livingroom.
I am no where close to having $8500.00 worth. I shop thrift shops, both of my machines cost less than $160.00.
My stash is probably less than $3000.00. I am a thrifty shopper.
Nope this is not me!

I'm 22
Two dresser drawers and card table in corner of bedroom = sewing area.
Only tools $199 sewing machine, two square rulers, a mat and rotary cutter. (My straight edge is the metal thing on the floor in the doorway)LOL
I've spent about $200 on fabric.
So far my immune system has fought off the quilting bug. I have too many hobbies to spend a lot on just one.
Ask again in 40 years, tho, who knows!
