i'll be 74 in december, i still work 4 days a week as a barber, do long arm quilting for the public and still find some time to do my own things.

I'm 60, and have been quilting for a short time now, but wish I would have started quilting at an early age. I could have retained so much more information! Now my mind is so full, I have to let something go before letting something new take it's place! :roll: I still feel like I'm in my 30s and keep wondering who the old lady in the mirror is and wish she would leave me alone! hehe
Love my quilting... glad I have the time to enjoy it now. Quilting is for Grandmas? Okay, whatever... I agree to disagree :wink:

I started with Grandma's old flip flop, the treadle where you push it up and down to get the needle to go up and down. That is how I described it for years. I remember having to sit on the edge of the chair to reach the foot power, so must have been quite young. All I did was put two squares together and get them together with others till I had a big sheet of different colors. I remember it was very heavy, then Grandma and aunts took over and made it into a real quilt. All of them seemed to have little chunks of yarn sticking up here and there, so they were all tied together.

I am 66, started quilting about 8 years ago. I wish I would have started a long time ago. Just hope I live long enough to use all my stash..LOL. I absolutely love qulting. My husband is my greatest supporter.
