I'm 75 and started quilting seven months ago. Reading the posts on this board has helped me tremendously. I have learned so much from the quilters here. I make about one quilt a month now. Last week, my daughter gave me a Singer Featherweight 221 to take to quilting classes. I'm beginning to feel like a real quilter. As for computers, I've used them since home computers came on the market. My first computer was a TRS 80, then I moved up to an Apple with 24 K memory. How computers have changed!
