I am 86, been sewing since age 8, both hand and treadle machine, hand quilliting, off and of for many years, computing on personal computers since 1983. Machine embroidery since mid-seventies, and machine quilting for about the last 4 years.

I'm glad to hear that all of you "young" ladies (haven't seen a fella post) are doing sooo well. I can only hope that i'll be flying around still living life to the fullest. Mom (64 this year) is taking care of Dad (85 this year) heart valve he's too afraid to have fixed. So I'm working on a trip to Hallibut fish (mom's dream trip. We both love to fish and be outdoors. ) an appropriate time after he passes. We'll have alot to take care of for a little while. Mom can't stay in that huge house with way too much yard to take care.

You go girl.....I think that's wonderful that you are keeping you mind active. My mother has no interest in any hobbies, she said she did that before, all she wants to do is get out on the road. However, my mother-in-law is just the opposite, she keeps me going ! I'll never live long enough to get all my fabric sewn and to test all the recipes I have printed off of the internet. By the way I'm 64 years of age, not that far off.
