I am 64 1/2 and feel lucky to be it. I am the last sibling to live this long. I have outlived 4 siblings - ages 40-37-42-almost 59 yr.s old. I don't know why, I do not live healthy. I have 3 kids ages 47-43-40 and six Grandkids - 23 to 7 and 2 yr.old Great Granddaughter. I do not know why God has been so good to me. I certainly hope he keeps it up. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a year on you, I'm 67 and a half? Do halves count at this stage of life? It will be 68 in May, doesn't feel like it though.

i'm actually going from 66 to 68 in october. LOL!

Now that I think about it I made a mistake too - I'm really just 39! (HA!)

Wow, I'm actually really happy to hear there are younger people quilting. Good for you and keep it going.
I'm 53 and loving it (I do color my hair and take really good care of myself....my husband is 9 years younger and I don't want to be mistaken for his mom, hahaha).

You got that right! My mom is 80 but has a lot of serious illnesses. I would love for her to be able to quilt like all you older ladies. Be proud you still got it girls and by all means, brag all you want!!

There is nothing better than another birthday to celebrate, another year to remember, and (of course) another quilt to make!

Live life when you have it. Who cares how old you are?
When asked, I tell it all. I may even tell the truth!!
