25 yrs ago I joined a swap and met a lady who was about 60-70. it was a charm quilt swap. she asked if I wanted to go to her house. I figured I hit paydirt, old lady buncha scraps. Well it was the first quilt she ever made and about my 100th. . We were great friends and quilt buddies till we both moved. I always was the youngest, I go to a lot myself, that's how yu make new friends. You'll have in common what you want to have in common. Go with a smile.
