I'm 67 and I watched my Mom quilt. But I moved away at 17(got Married) and taught myself to quilt about 22 years ago. Not to good at first, but ,We started a quilting guild about 10 years ago in my little town,we moved back too, and we are all helping each other ,learn,and improve everypart of quilting. I have 3 grown, sons.One of my grandaughters,who lives far,far away comes every summer for a couple of weeks,and loves quilts. At first we made a pillow,( she was seven) then we went to quilts and she has make about 4 quilts now, She took to sewing like a duck to water. I have been married 50 years , and he doesn't mind my hobby.
