You should send him to some of these blogs and websites, have him take a gander at these "old woman" quilters:

http://www.quiltingismytherapy.com/
http://www.daystyledesigns.com/aboutme.htm
http://www.designerquilts.com/
Then ask him if he would like some chocolate syrup on those words he now has to eat! LOL
BTW, I have been quilting since I was in my 30's. I am 51 now, so maybe in his mind I am an old woman. I also ride a HarleyDavidson Roadking and have tattoos. So there.

I spent a few years teaching kids how to quilt and they loved it. I had one student who was 12 years old who made the most astounding quilt ever. Also, you're only as old as you think you are. I am 65 but I happen to think I am about 40. I'm afraid your male friend (?) is a bit out of touch himself!

I fell yesterday and had to have 5 stitches on the bridge of my nose. While the Dr was putting them in I asked him if he quilts, he said no but his mom taught him early how to sew on buttons and do hems. He said he has done alot of faces tho!LOL

hay, I am not old. Yes I am but I only feel 20. That is what counts. I have worked with 7 year olds quilting. I also have taught teens (16-18) to quilt and they are still quilting. Quilting makes a person stay young, with all the neet fabrics and patterns. You need to tell him, "you are as old as you want to be"

I live on a remote Caribbean island where there is a medical school. For the past five years I have been teaching/helping the spouses to learn to sew and quilt. They love to do it and have made many beautiful quilts. The youngest so far is just 21 years. The oldest is in her early 30's. They are so proud of their work and have done wonderful quilts. Hopefully they will carry on and teach others.

all ages quilt for Ronald McDonald House Cincinnati kids
A male friend (?) and I were talking the other day and I told him I quilted and he said only old women quilted. I'm 58 and said I wasn't an old woman and didn't know what constituted an old woman. I told him that women and men of all ages quilted. I said there were many 20 and 30 year old people who quilted. Any of you want to come forward and let yourself be known so I can tell my friend?
