I am grateful to Marcy J for asking the question because I can empathise with this lady. I think many of us go through a bout of age depression at times. It is helpful to know that we are not alone and it is forums like this that encourage us to put things in perspective. Age is irrelevant. Quilting is not just about creativity, it is also therapeutic and keeps our minds alert. If we give up our hobbies and the things that give us pleasure we are giving up on life and I have come to this conclusion after reading the responses on here, so thank you everyone.
