I dropped out of sewing at school but when my DS was about 4 and went to a childcare centre for an afternoon a week, I went and did a quilting sampler class - he is now 31 so I guess I have been hooked / obsessed / passionate about quilting from when I was around 28 years old. I am now 56.

Learned sewing in 6th grad Home Ec., age 10; started quilting last year, age 63. But saved my scraps all those years, sure they would be useful in a quilt one day! Now if I could just find them.... :roll:

I started two years ago at age 57. The only other sewing I did before that was a hem on a curtain. To say that the terminology is challenging is an understatement!

Cagey

started sewing when I was in high school (home economics - remember that?) Just started quilting last year so I was still in my fifties. Started quilting cuz' someone told me I didn't have the sewing and artistic talent to do it.

I learned to sew back in H.S. I did not start sewing again untill about 10 yrs ago, when I made curtains for the whole house, baby blanket, diaper bag without any patterns.
A few years later we moved. Went to a John Wayne museum and fell in love with a puff quilt that was on one of the beds. I decided I was going to make one. My avitar. I been hooked since. BTW I will be 57 in Dec

Started sewing at 7. Quilted several quilts at 20 as a newly married. Then life got in the way and I have just started to quilt again and finding that there are so many new tools out there it is mind boggling. Yes, I am from the older generation.
