I have no plans on giving up. That was never an option. I love it far too much.
Chiclet - I've gotten the whole "age appropriate" thing many times. I'm a history lover/ student so I enjoy going to antique store and listening to really old music (plus of bunch of other things). I love to knit and crochet. I also ballroom dance and that has sometimes that's been thought of as something "only old people do". And then I quilt. I've had people my age tell me I act like an old lady. And I'm honestly ok with that. haha
I have yet to find a quilter my own age. The closest I've met face to face to is a women who had to be in her late 20s, early 30s (and I only met her once). You think it would be easy finding at least one person in a university full of people who quilts.
