I am 28, been quilting for about 10 years. my grams got me into it, i just loved all the things she made, and when mine got ruined by my sister's dog (stupid dog) i felt i could not ask her to make another one, what with more grandbabies coming for her and all, so i asked her to supervise me making one. still it takes me forver to make just one...usually about a year. mostly because of time, but because I also mend and have planty of side projects besides work and house stuff...and now i am sure i will be having even less time with my first baby on the way....10 weeks to go!!!
so if quilting makes you "old" was I old at 18? lol. i think your only as old as you want to be!
