I'm 24, and have been quilting almost two years. I have a two year old who gets all excited when I come into the 'yo-ing room' and turn my machine on. He loves to see what Mama makes. It's helping him learn his colors and shapes too, as my projects are his favorite things to learn about (and participate in, of course!).
I'll be going on retreat this weekend, and at least one other person there will be 24... I've known her for years, and it thrills me that she quilts too! We didn't get each other into this hobby, though... we just both ended up learning from our family (who happen to know each other too.. small world!). I find every spare minute I can to come into my room and make art!
