I am turning 81 on Jan. 1 and am not giving up quilting! I am trying to use the few bits and pieces of fabric I have. But I do buy yardage for a special project. I have never had a "stash" as such. The worst thing people of our age can do is give up things - especially pleasurable ones, just because. I still go to the gym, still walk, am not sedentary. Of course I am not 20 anymore either, so take that all into account. We need to keep all parts moving and active, and if there are ailments involved, take them into account. I don't have anything keeping me from doing all that I want.
