I'm 55 but I was interested in quilting as a teenager and started when I was about 20. Age is in your mind. I don't feel any older now than I did when I was a kid, just a little smarter and more capable. Tell him to go do something he likes and leave you to your business. You could have a whole lot worse activity than quilting.

I am 56, I have 3 kids and 7 grandkids. I started quilting with my Grma at age 5.. I watched her and her friends with there quilt all stretched out on the frame sewing away talking and laughing, they had so much fun..I watched them cut up clothes, use cardboard for templates and away they would go. It doesn't matter the age...If a person enjoys it. And everyone always enjoy the outcome of our efforts.. Every quilt I make my daughter wants.. ha ha

LOL I do think some of us have more time for quilting as we be come empty nesters and retire.
I also second that many very young people, both male and female, are learning to quilt. My youngest one was 3 and she still quilts at thirteen. |

I am 50. No kids. 2 Doggie babies. A wonderful husband who supports every hobby I have. I taught myself to quilt 18 years ago. Unless you count sitting at my grandmother's knee at the quilting frame when I was 7. My job was to thread the needles.
