I just hit the big 5-0 this year but should have started quilting in my 20s for all the projects I want to do.
I'm teaching my daughters- the 26 yr old has already been quilting. The 31 year old is in the "that's nice, can I have it stage", the newest DIL, age 26 made her first quilt last year. Oldest one is 34 but shows no interest in anything crafty. Other DD is also 26- I just gave her a machine when we were in NC last week and she made a pillow the day after we left. She said she needs to ease into sewing. My son, age 24 made his fiance (age 26) a quilt 2 years ago this Christmas. They now have mooched a book to make her Mom one for Christmas. Youngest son, likes his quilt and his greatest accomplishment is he helps me with color placement and layout (and he's really good at it).
Hubby doesn't sew, but always checks out what I'm working on and offers support. That would be the day I let him sit at my machine- now that I think about it... I'm possessive of it, he might touch something.
