Believe it or not, I didn't start quilting until after I was 30! Every time I saw something quilted before then, I always thought it was for "old people" and "grandmas" to do, not for ME! :lol: I had been sewing since I was around 10 or maybe even younger. I started out making Barbie doll clothes and then got into making clothes for myself, something I need to do more of today.

I have no idea what clicked in me after I turned 30, but I remember seeing something quilted and liked it. My intro to quilting was a night class at the high school 20 years ago. The rest is history!

I have always done a bit of sewing, clothes and things since my teens, then knitting and tapestry - didn't discover the delights of quilting until 10 years ago at 47

I made my first block when I was 14. I hated quilting and swore I'd never try that again. Then in my 20's I made a couple of nine patch wall hangings from scraps to match the curtains and chair covers in my living room and kitchen. Didnt really start making full size quilts until I was in my mid 30's, And my first was scrappy crazy kinda quilt, from all the fabric I had used over the years for various projects. The ugliest quilt you've ever seen!

I began sewing in school in Home Ec class and continued sewing always - making almost all my girls clothes, my clothes, even men's shirts and pants. Loved it. I discovered quilting in 1982 - well, I suppose I can hardly call it quilting as I embroidered some squares and put them together with sashing and made it without binding. I made a few more quilts in the 90's and really got into quilting in 2008 and have been quilting ever since. I was 66. Now just a few weeks from turning 69 I find myself even dreaming about quilt patterns and color ideas, etc. LOL. Just like loves_to_quilt I watched the TV quilters for years before quilting myself. Have ALWAYS admired quilts and those who created such beautiful art pieces and finally decided to try it myself and love it. This board is such an inspiration that one can not help but want to do more and more in this fabric art.

I was 69 when I started. Had never used a sewing machine until a friend dragged me protesting loudly to a quilting class . Well needless to say I was hooked
