(I'm 39 & I thought she might be mid-40's!) But I needn't have worried, only one person commented about my age and it was just to say she was glad to see younger people taking up quilting.
(And it's really neat to be somewhere that I am considered "young"! LOL)
All in all I'm really excited! They have a class coming up for a style of quilt that intimidates me so I might just have to sign up for it and stretch myself some.
I think it's great that you have found a group where you feel comfortable and welcome. Don't let age hinder you from joining in their activities. When I retired, I joined a group where I was the youngest member (and I was 58). The oldest member was 90 (She died at 105!) We learned so much from each other.
