I am 39 but quickly approaching the Big 4-0! I'm looking forward to it actually. I only started quilting in September and I'm loving it. I'm doing a course and we just finished our 8th lesson. We're to the point now of marking up our quilt tops for hand quilting. Hand quilting! I thought it was going to be machine quilted!
While I'm a relative newbie to quilting, I've been cross stitching since I was 20, even doing professional stitching for designers. I can remember my grandmother teaching me to embroider when I was about 7 or 8, but I never really took to that. I can remember knitting and crocheting when I was little too; man, those stitches on the needles were so tight I don't know how I managed to get them off!
