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!

Funny you should ask. I use the computer, not only for enjoyment but also for business and I do quilting also. I cut my own quilt pieces and piece them, sandwich them and quilt. Some are quilt as you go and some are hand quilted on a frame. This is my life, Charlie Brown.

Today is my birthday. I am now 70. Love, love my computer and love, love my sewing room, machines and quilting. Can't seem to get enough material or projects to keep me going. Also really like to be outside working in my little rose bed and doing yard work.

In November, I will be eighty-two years old, our sixtieth wedding anniversary was last summer-celebrated with a great family reunion, I use the sewing machine a lot, still am making quilts and table runners, placemats, etc., and keep the computer busy early in the morning, and late at night. Both my parents had their ninetieth birthdays, and then some, I fully expect to do the same. piecefully, the old one
