Don't give up hope. My youngest daughter just started sewing/quilting this past year at the age of 38. The first thing she made was a beautiful quilt. I am so proud of her. My other daughter made a knotted quilt for her dorm room back in college. She is too caught up with work, kids, etc. for that sort of thing now but I believe she may come back to it when her kids grow up and her life is not so hectic.
