I'm 29 with 3 boys! and don't feel bad all my friends think i'm having a crisis but not before asking me for something.

well, let's see who is the oldest and still going strong quilting.
i'll be 74 in december, i still work 4 days a week as a barber, do long arm quilting for the public and still find some time to do my own things.

I'm just a baby of 58. I started quilting about five years ago.

I'm 41 with 2 kids, 14 & 16. I've been quilting for about 8 years I think.

I'm 60, and have been quilting for a short time now, but wish I would have started quilting at an early age. I could have retained so much more information! Now my mind is so full, I have to let something go before letting something new take it's place! :roll: I still feel like I'm in my 30s and keep wondering who the old lady in the mirror is and wish she would leave me alone! hehe
Love my quilting... glad I have the time to enjoy it now. Quilting is for Grandmas? Okay, whatever... I agree to disagree :wink:

I started with Grandma's old flip flop, the treadle where you push it up and down to get the needle to go up and down. That is how I described it for years. I remember having to sit on the edge of the chair to reach the foot power, so must have been quite young. All I did was put two squares together and get them together with others till I had a big sheet of different colors. I remember it was very heavy, then Grandma and aunts took over and made it into a real quilt. All of them seemed to have little chunks of yarn sticking up here and there, so they were all tied together.

I'm 68, retired for two yrs and quilting for 4 mo's. Well, actually, researching quilting since June. Today I got 2 quilts from Hancock's for my DGD's. So, I've been a quilter for, oh, about 6 hrs!

I'm 42, no kids, and have been quilting and sewing since I was old enough to pick up a needle and thread. :)

I am 66, started quilting about 8 years ago. I wish I would have started a long time ago. Just hope I live long enough to use all my stash..LOL. I absolutely love qulting. My husband is my greatest supporter.

I'm 46 years ok'd and have a 14 year old girl and a 12 year old boy. I've been quilting for about three or four years now. My family keep asking me how many quilts (for beds) do I need.
