I'm the right age, exactly. Don't think I have that much invested in equipment. (My husband bought me a new machine; but, that's not what got me into quilting.) If you count the machine -- that I really don't use that much I'm around 1/2 that. Fabric -- I think I have more than the average since I started only about 4 years ago. I love the fabric & see lot's of things I want to make with particular lines. Thank goodness that I have it now that things have slowed down for us. I have lots to work with until the tide turns.
