Latest Quilting Survey Reveals Top Trends and Interests

Northbrook, IL — FaveQuilts.com has recently finished up its brand new survey to learn more about what quilters across the web are most interested and invested in on the site. The responses also helped editors determine what the most popular quilting projects and topics were, and how FaveQuilts could communicate these trends to readers. Here are some of the results:

The survey revealed that 99.3% of FaveQuilts readers are female and 0.7% are male, with the majority, 58.0%, belonging to the 60 and older age group. Many of these quilters preferred to quilt a few times throughout the week (45.2%) and usually dedicated 1 to 2 weeks to each pattern (47.2%), with the most common skill level for the quilts preferred being intermediate (50.5%). These dedicated quilters love quilting for other family members (61.8%), and also enjoyed sewing, knitting, and crochet, as well as other crafts like embroidery and cross stitch.

One of the most important things noted in the survey was cost. More than half of survey takers chose “the cost” as the hardest/most frustrating thing about quilting, and readers acknowledged spending $50-$100 (25.4%) and $200+ (24.2%) on their craft. With most quilters buying fabric by the yard, it’s not surprising that 41.5% would like to see more scrap projects in newsletters to find ways to cut costs.

In regards to the FaveQuilts website, an overwhelming number of readers chose the individual project pages as their favorite part of the site (83.2%). In turn, these readers would like to see more techniques and tutorials (28.7%) in the future.

Father’s Day Doesn’t Get Attention It Deserves

Northbrook, IL – According to Livestrong.com, parent-child bonding is increased when the parent is a stay-at-home mom or dad. Since the stay-at-home parent tends to have a closer relationship with his or her kids, society feels compelled to celebrate his or her work more. Since this role has historically been filled by females, Mother’s Day has become, by far, a larger holiday than the third Sunday in June.

However, gender roles are slowly, but surely, being done away with due to more Mr. Moms and single fathers, says National Geographic. So, what about those increasing numbers of dads who are spending the days with the kids? Shouldn’t they be celebrated just as much? And even those fathers who are working all day, don’t they deserve a large amount of recognition as well? It’s time for kids to take charge of these holidays to make sure that all parents are being honored equally. National Geographic releases shocking statistics that, while Father’s Day is becoming more popular, 90 million cards are sent on Father’s Day compared to 141 million on Mother’s Day. There are many potential arguments as to why this is, including the frequency of single-mother homes, but the facts are the facts. And while fathers won’t ever admit it, they too would like to be celebrated.

Luckily, making Father’s Day special is not hard. Dads are much more likely to be genuinely happy with their Father’s Day gifts, says psychologist Gilbert Cote. That means that you don’t have to go spend hundreds of dollars to make those special men in your life happy. Instead, they will be more than content with a homemade Father’s Day gift from kids. In fact, Dad and Grandpa will be overjoyed when you hand them gifts, cards, and decorations that you made on your own, especially ones that are specifically tailored to them. Fortunately, AllFreeKidsCrafts has gathered 16 amazing Father’s Day crafts for kids that are diverse, which means that you are guaranteed to find the perfect project to make for your dad.

Happy Father’s Day! Crafts for Kids to Make for Dad is a free eBook filled with crafts that are sure to make your favorite fellas smile. Inside the handbook to handyman happiness, you’ll find the ideal gifts for daddy, cards that will make his heart melt, and decorations that will remind him of your love. Within the Happy Father’s Day! Crafts for Kids to Make for Dad eBook are the best Father’s Day crafts for kids to make for sporty dads, sentimental fathers, suit-adorned papas, handy daddies, and motor-loving men.

Children can help make fathers and grandfathers feel just as special as the female figures in their lives by crafting meaningful, homemade gifts for Father’s Day.

“Have subscribers show-off their projects from the patterns placed in your newsletters.”

 
“I would like to see more advanced crochet patterns. I like to do challenging projects.”

 
“I think you are doing a great job and I enjoy a lot your newsletter. Thanks!”
