Is this you? I know I fall in that category. Give me your thoughts. :lol: :oops: :roll:
Nope, not me. I am in my early 40's, but I do have an entire room dedicating to quilting with it spilling over into other rooms. My biggest investment is my Janome 6600 and I got a great deal on that when it was first out and paid $1500 for it. I really need more tools and toys evidently. I have a lot of fabric but nowhere near anything like $3700 worth. I wish!!!!

Oddly enough, it might explain why most of my friends are in their 60s. :lol:
