Well the avg age may be 62 (I'm 51!) but we middle-age to older ladies sure aren't sitting in the old rocking chair ... My granny quilted until she was 88. Many of us still work AND quilt - and now we have the MOST MONEY TO SPEND !!! We've raised our kids, sent them to college, paid for weddings and NOW we spend on OUR quilting !! :wink:
