21,300,00?
I’ve never been one to follow crowds, I avoid them as much as possible. To me 25 is a crowd. I’ve never been one to follow a fad either, I do my own thing. But to find out that I am one of 21,300,00 quilters in the country did not surprise me. I kind of thought there were more of us out there.
Quilting is a part of life to so many of us, I’m guessing they missed a few when they counted. They were out shopping, or at a show, or at a retreat, or too busy to answer the door when the quilt police came by to count them. Is there a box on the census under occupation that says “Quilter”?
If so, did many of the quilters in America just put it down as a hobby? Quilting is much more than a hobby. Quilting is a way of life. A way of creating, sharing, giving, learning and so very much more.

way of life? i second that marge, hobbies come and go but quilters never stop quilting, not that i've ever heard that is...
ReplyDeleteReally, over 21 million quilters? That is big business.
ReplyDeleteI got a kick out of your previous post -- I often feel like a raccoon -- any shiny object distracts me, except change shiny object to quilt blog or email!
Glad you are getting some sewing done, LOL... Cheers. B.
I wonder how "they" got that number? I don't recall getting a polling phone call or filling out a "what kind of an addict" are you questionnaire - so I know I wasn't counted in that number. Color me 21,300,001? :-)
