Now let me think.... I was born in August of 1943... and I have a birthday coming up soon... so I must be 68 years old this year!

I started learning to paper piece first.. a couple of years ago.. Learning to make small doll size quilts has become my main hobby now... they go so well with my old dolls...

I made my first quilt at age 60. Made 4 quilts and then life got hectic and I quit until last fall. I've made about 8 or nine quilts since then. I'm 66 now.

Started on my own last year and I am 61 now. Had done some previous easy quilting with mother/sister in law when I was in my 30's.

I am 62 and I swear before the end of this year I will have completed my first quilt. I have so many other projects to finish first! Then I can get started.

Have sewn since I was around 10. Started doing a lot of quilting in my 40's. Then didn't do as much for a while, now over the last few years back at it again, just turned 60, sometimes feel like 100
