I think at any age it is wonderful, besides age is irrelivant..it is the spirit in us thats important...I know a 12 year old who quilts, it a great form of artistic expression, and creativity.....I started learning quilting in my 20's as a way to try to "escape" a really bad marriage...I'm now 31..and it was just in the last 2 years that I got very serious about learning all I can about quilting..I love it! Unfortunatly I haven't done a single thing with my fabric in the last couple of weeks :( shame on me lol
