Like most things....persistence pays off. So just hang in there and I guess acceptance will come. If it doesn't, well try another group. I love it when young people take an interest in my "passions" (quilting, gardening, animals and nature). I am making a quilt for my newest DIL, and was apologising for dragging my feet with it. I told her, I was procrastinating over the basting.....She and my other DIL and another girl (who is definitely gunning for DIL status
. wanted to know what this basting thing was. So off to the guest room we went and they got a quick lesson in basting.....should have got them all "needled" up and I might have got it done quicker. Who knows I might have lit a spark

Anyway, I digress, I'm sorry you feel your age is a problem. Keep coming here, you will always be welcomed.
