33 year old mother of a 10 year old & a 4 month old.

And I would've slapped him for saying that. My hubs totally supports me in the quilting.

But, back to my question...how old are we all? I'm willing to bet I'm not the only 38 year old mother of 3 children under the age of 12, eh?

I'm close to you... 31 year old mother of 4 under the age of 10, lol!

I started at age 50, and was a grandma, that was 20 plus years ago. Before that I made most of our clothing, when the kids grew up I turned to quilting because I love the feel of fabric.

I'm thirty - I think I started quilting about the time I was 21, but didn't seriously become "a quilter" until about three years ago.

Oh, and I have two children under the age of 5.

Well.... I AM a Grandma to 4 at 48, but I married into 3 of them. Quilting isn't All I do, I'm a triathlete , mountain climber, hiker, and I own more power tools than my husband; but, a girl's gotta' have some quiet time!

I'm 26, a newlywed with no kids yet. But I went to my first quilting class with my mom when I was 12. Yup, it was me, mom, and all the grandmas so I understand where the stereotype comes from. Doesn't mean it's accurate all the time though! There are many many young quilters on this board and at my in-person quilting guild.

But more importantly, who cares anyway? A friend is a friend. A hobby is a hobby. I'm glad to do quilting and hang out with quilters regardless of ages 'cause it makes me happy.
