Not to morbid...but I have heard of people making Casket quilts to cover the coffin and than the family is given it before the coffin is lowered like the folded flag..its mainly done for quilters..but it is done...blessings

i'm 57, have sewn since i was about 12 and always wanted to quilt just didn't start til a couple of years ago. i have 3 grown children, 4 grandchildren, 1 great grandson and a great granddaughter on the way.

All the females in my family are quilters. I started when I was 25 yrs old, and have been quilting for 40 years now. It is so much fun. My cats love it when I quilt.

I will be 60 on Christmas Day- have 3 kids, & 3 grand kids and have been quilting for about 10 years give or take a few years.

Happy Birthday!

I'm 29 years old and have been quilting for years. I'd say at least since I was 20. So don't let your husband say it is a Grandma thing to be quilting. I love this hobby.

These are my grandchildren that I taught to quilt. These are their first quilts.

I started quilting at age 8 and have53 years of learning under my belt so far, hope to have many more years of learning.
Gloria :P

I'm 56 and just started quilting about 4 years ago.

Your husband should check his facts. That's the beauty of quilting as a hobby it covers all ages and we all can learn from each other young or older. It allows for males & females. I guess all that most quilters would ask is "no bad manners"
It's also something that you can put on hold or pick up at whim. On the whole I find most quilters are willing to help each other but also non quilters as well.
My one regret is that I didn't discover quilting 20 or 30 years earlier. Will just have to sew faster to use up my stash.
Happy quilting everyone.
