I promise not to share your age (he, he) but with the few thousand on our board.
I am 44.
You are?

I am 64. I began quilting at about age 60.
Mom started teaching me how to use her old Singer when I was 5 - doll clothes back then. I have been sewing, doing embroidery, knitting, cross stitching, crewel, needlepoint ever since. I was tatting at age 7 - doing "old lady work" when a neighbor taught me.

Old is always at least 25 years down the road from where I am, which currently is 63. But I've been quilting a bit since my 20's. It's just that we tend to have more time for hobbies after empty nest and retirement.
