I have been sewing forever as 4-H member what girl didnt learn to sew since I was 8 or 9 and next week I will turn 49. But I have only been quilting for 7 or so years but my son started quilting when he was 9 and he is only 15 now but high school activities (football, wrestling, track, band, danceline, FFA, 4H) are getting in his way of sewing. I noticed that there other boys that started at age 9 but my son would say where could I meet girls and they were eager to help me finish my quilt.
