I just turned 30, but i started sewing when I was in high school. I made a quilt for my little brother as a project in home ec. Thats what started it all. I tried signing up for a home ec class that was all sewing ,but apparently I was the only one that signed up for it so i had to choose a different class. I was sad for weeks.
I think home ec classes should be mandatory. They teach you alot. I found out a couple years ago that they elimanated the home ec department at the school I went to. Now where are the kids going to learn about cooking, sewing, balenceing a checkbook?

I am 65 and have only been quilting about 10 years. I wish I had started when I was 20.

and the 50th shot was still in the kill zone...LOL

So funny, but you're right. Some of us older ladies do other things besides quilt. I black powder shoot, I camp, row a personal pontoon boat and I also enjoy riding ATV's. So no, we're not old. Age is just a number.

So many of us don't have the time to quilt when we're busy raising a family of youngsters and have to save such fun projects until they all go off to school and some of our time belongs to us again

My granddaughters are both making a quilt top and they love it. One is 18 and the other is 20. The 20 year old has fabric purchases for the next quilt that she is making for her friend that is getting married. I think she is addicted. She shows all the signs. Their Mother, My daughter is 46 and she has just become addicted to quilting since January. One other granddaughter like to piece wiith me, and is 13.
