Reading all those posts of quilters, 75+, who like to quilt and walk their fingers across the computer keyboard.........I see that we do have a good amount of quilters doing their thing in their eighth decade.....

Let's just see how many of us there are on this board......

Starting here in Jersey......I am 77, retired and love quilting and the computer....but also enjoy cruising the islands and visiting Atlantic City to pull handles of the slots.......

I'm 76 and have just given up horseback riding because my beloved mount has turned 32 years old, and have retired him to pasture, which he has certainly earned.
I have always sewn and I think I have quilted even though I didn't know that was what it was called. Now that I am retired, have lots of material, a little nook to sew in, and an old Viking that is a trooper and has gone through children, grandchildren, several horses, I now want to do some creative quilting. Just discovered I had bought an old treadle machine years ago, because I liked the cabinet. Had my husband and son bring it out from storage shed for my Mother's Day gift, and oiled and cleaned it and have that to work on now. Am looking forward to years of piecing and sewing and learning new methods of quilting.
Love this Quilting Board!!!!! also love to use the computer and keep in touch with friends on my e-mail.

I will be 70 in December. I am retired - my husband and I travel in our motorhome whenever we feel like it. Spend the winters in Arizona, spring and fall in Yellowstone NP. I love to quilt and read. I have arthritis and osteoporosis so can't do to much physical labor or other things. I do get to the gym twice a week to try and help keep me somewhat limber. I have 2 sons, 6 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniv. 2 yrs. ago and we Love life.
