You bet! You'll develop plenty of friends, here. This is a great community.
my only kiddo is grown & on her own, too. my first quilt was 43 years ago, a small 9 block throw. That timeline does not make me any kind of expert tho, as I have only made a handful of quilts, that I can remember.
In the late 90's early 80's, I subscribed to a quilt mag. It was small, the size of a readers' digest. The paper was glorified newsprint. Once, in that mag, there was the most amazingly detailed (traditional-way before the art quilts started to be well known) quilt, designed and made by a man. I believe he had won shows & awards with it.
Anyway, men have a long history of being interested in this craft.
For me, it is a creative outlet. Also, I love fabric and sewing. I picked quilting back up March this year.
