75+ and using computer and quilting
#52
I am 75 and started quilting 4 years ago.
I made a living designing software systems and have been using computers since 1960.
This last season I designed a drip irrigation system for the local Community Vegetable Garden. Been using drip irrigation for 30 years. But I can't seem to grow sweet potatoes.

I will be 76 this month and have quilted for years. Learned to use the computer at school for grades and etc years ago, I love email, this blog and also do genealogy I do water aerobics three mornings a week, Queen of 68 Red Hatters, play bridge, go to dinner/ movie once a week and am active in my quilt guild. Last month I painted three shelves in my sewing room refolded all my material. I also have a flower garden, but have slowed down and some days it's hard to get to my seeing room.

I'll be 78 in December. Have used a computer since the 1980s and began quilting in earnest after retiring. My DDH (that's DEAR DEAR husband and I have been married 60 years and took our 3 'children' and their spouses to Maui last February to celebrate. I quilt every day and plan to keep on for many more years!! My morning begins with the quilt board!

I am 77 -almost 78 -- and have been married to the same man for 57 years. We raised 6 children, but the 2 oldest have passed away. I have been on line for over 10 years - my desk top pc has 2 monitors (great for doing genealogy) and I have 2 printers. I have 2 lap tops (just purchased one to use for only my machine embroidery software and patterns). I have been quilting for over 20 yrs - my hands are protesting doing hand quilting anymore, so I rent time on a computerized long arm quilting machine (and love it).

I wonder why anyone would ask this question. If they are on this site, they obiously use the computer, and why would they use this site if they weren't quilters. I am not yet 75, but if I was, I would be insulted by the question.
