You're not running out of time. This is the best time and it's only going to get better. I did my first quilt in 2000 (small wall hanging) at 54, then I did 2 lap quilts for my grandkids, then nothing. Work was hard 12 hour days, lots of overtime.
I tried classes and something always happened, they got cancelled or I couldn't go, multiple reasons.
Then I got sick. Had to quit work. Had to sell our home and move. What a blessing.
The small town we moved to when I was 61 turned out to be great we have a local quilt instructor. have a group of local women who do "Quilts of Valor" and I'm having a ball.
It really is better as you get older. And you have lots of quilts to do and more time than you think .
