I am just over the 40 mark so I will include myself in this pot. I am 42 but still feel like I am ten years younger. Lol. I have been quilting for 7 years and I too get the " oh my you quilt" remarks as if only older people quilt. I must say however when I do take quilt classes at my LQS the other ladies are clear over sixty and many are retired. Although I like when I see younger people in the classes I truly enjoy the much older crowd (no offense to anyone please) because I love to hear stories of their quilting experiences etc etc. I have always been drawn to people older than me as I was always drawn by their wisdom and life experiences.
