I started knitting at age 4, sewing not much after that, (made all my own clothes by age 12....including winter coats!!). I started making "floor quilts" for babies when I was about 35. Because I was sewing 8-10 hrs a day for my bread and butter for the better part of 25 years as a single mom, I didn't start this type of quilting until I moved from Canada to the US 7 1/2 yrs ago and "couldn't" work until I had my green card. Now I am totally hooked. And age? I may have a fair bit of gray hair and achy joints, and a few years of knowledge accumulated...but "upstairs" I am still only about 30. ;) Oh...and real age? I will be 59 years young in a few weeks.
