i was 7 yrs old when i sewed my first quilt to teach me how to use sewing machine. when my mother passed on to heaven 23 yrs later, it was found in a hope chest, then i got to quilt it. 29 yrs after quilted i still have it. so i quess that it is 52 yrs old. i guess that makes it and me semi antique.

Me too for I started about 60. Later writing about my grandmother I discovered she quilted all the time but since she died before I was born and my mother didn't tell me I never knew. Needless to say my mother did NOT quilt or do any craft work.

Gosh, I've been sewing and quilting a long time. My darling husband bought me a sewing machine in 1977. I've been going ever since. Last year he bought me a new machine. What a wonderful guy!
