Demographics and Skills of Quilters
There are 21.3 million quilters in the United States. The average age of a dedicated quilter is 57. Quilters start an average of 14 projects per year. Most quilters are female with a college education. Their average household income is $75,000. Even though reminiscent of colonial days, these women are tech-savvy, spending time online visiting quilting sites.
Quilters are skilled artisans who use techniques like piecing, applique, and quilting to make unique designs on fabric. They select fabrics, design quilts, and sew pieces together. Quilters need an eye for color, design, and detail. They may work independently or on a team. Types of quilting include traditional, modern, or art quilts. The job requires creativity, patience, and precision to produce quality quilts.
