I am 34 and really got into quilting a few months ago, but have been sewing and did pillows and quilt tops that I didn't machine quilt, made clothes.. I started at 15.. Made alot of pillows for Christmas presents that year.. And really try to encourage my daughter and my step-daughters to be creative.. This isn't an old persons hobby at all.. I think most of us feel younger because we quilt and stay creative.. I have always enjoyed doing lots of different crafts.. I am just creative at heart..
