geez, Ive been sewing for as long as I can remember, doing home decor. Got the quilt bug when my sister bought her quilting machine. I have a bad case of it now. IN the 2 years I've been doing it, I have made 8 quilts, but only 1 since I took the class and understand more now. I was just not aware of cutting the square, again to make them even, hahahha, no wonder my sister complained all the time.....She doesnt charge me for the quilting yet, but i do my own quilts on her machine, or leave them for her to do.

oh dang it im 54 now i think....

I'm 62 with two grown children a girl 35 and a boy 39. Two DGD's. I started quilting when I was about 30. Started sewing at age 12. My DDIL said she saw a place for her girls to learn to quilt. I thought that was a wonderful idea, they are 7 and 10. Its never to young to start.

I'm 57, have been quilting for 2 years. I got the bug from my 29 year daughter, who started about 4 years ago and inspired me to start quilting.

Tell you what....i wish i'd taking up quilting at your age! I think quilting is a wonderful hobby, no matter your age! These things takes lots of time, patience, fun and enjoyment and not to mention love that is being put into these projects...so don't worry about that comment he made....im 60 young.. :thumbup: Would he rather you spent your time running to other places ?

Quilting for about 22 yrs. Have 5 children, ages 63 to 39, 10 DGC & 15 DGRC. I'm 84 and really don't feel that old. No meds at all and no one believes me. I have at LEAST 16 yrs. to go before I give up and I'm not kidding. LOL

The stock answer to that question is that it's cheaper than therapy. My friend's husband, after the birth of her 5th, told her she needed a new hobby. So she took up quilting.

Good for you Marge L.....keep up that postive attitude lady!

That makes me wonder,what is your husbands hobby? Quilting is an art, and just as any other art, age is of no importance whatsoever.It seems to me he has no imagination. Just be happy to join a world wide guild. Love x

I am 53 but I started quilting 30 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I still quilt like a beginner but I love it.
