49 years of quilting for me. I stated quilting in 1962, to be best of my recollection.

Of course there were periods where I wasn't active, but I do remember making my first quilt with my mom's help, drawing around square cardboard templates made out of cereal boxes when I was 8 years old. It was a scrappy quilt made of 4" squares, no binding-sewn and turned "envelope style" instead, and tied with red yarn.

I started my first quilt when I was 19 and finished at 20. I’ve been making quilts for 31 years.

Made my first quilt with I was 17, but it was tied. Made many childrens quilts as my kids were growing up, but didn't actually make a "Quilted" quilt until I watched my first episode of Simply Quilts, back in the late 90's. To be fair, I can say that I have been quilting for 15 years.
