    I'll be 56 on Sat. and my DH does not think I am 'old' by any means.
    I sit around with other students half my age or less and we have great conversations and fun. Tell your dh HE is the old poop and you are only as old as you feel and if he feels old, get up, get moving, do something for someone else, shut up or put up. Oops, and my sugar is just fine.
    I am a bit feistier at this age than 30 years ago! :roll:

    60 - but quilting inspires my creative side and when I'm doing it I feel like 20.

    I'm 57 and my 12 year old grandson is facsinated by my quilting. Watches me cut and sew a good bit. He's asked if I will teach him how and of course I will!

    69. And it looks like us oldies are in the minority! That surprises me. I'm amazed how all you "young folks" (anyone younger than me) find time to quilt while raising families and having jobs! It shows the joy of quilting! I just started last year but have sewn for most of my life; started in 4-H at a young age. :thumbup: :-)

    I am 48 and have ben quilting 4 years. But have been an avid sewer since I was 18. I think nowadays, the fad is more that only "old ladies" sew because taht almost seems to be a thing of the past and quilting seems to be moving in to the younger generations now.

    75 Really, really old. Still addicted. Been quilting since 1976 and still love every minute. Never bored with it. I have 5 projects waiting for me, and many UFOs that I don't feel in the least guilty about. Love this site by the way.
