33 year old mother of a 10 year old & a 4 month old.
And I would've slapped him for saying that. My hubs totally supports me in the quilting. |

But, back to my question...how old are we all? I'm willing to bet I'm not the only 38 year old mother of 3 children under the age of 12, eh? |
I am 68, mom of 2 (grown kids)..wife of 44 years...been quilting about 12 years and love every minute of it. I miss having kids at home (mine and everybody else's kids) but I do love the fact that I have a room just for ME, for my sewing and computer and etc. ( was the older ones room)..so that is a positive about enpty nests...

I started at age 50, and was a grandma, that was 20 plus years ago. Before that I made most of our clothing, when the kids grew up I turned to quilting because I love the feel of fabric.

I'm thirty - I think I started quilting about the time I was 21, but didn't seriously become "a quilter" until about three years ago.
Oh, and I have two children under the age of 5. |
Well.... I AM a Grandma to 4 at 48, but I married into 3 of them. Quilting isn't All I do, I'm a triathlete , mountain climber, hiker, and I own more power tools than my husband; but, a girl's gotta' have some quiet time!

I'm 26, a newlywed with no kids yet. But I went to my first quilting class with my mom when I was 12. Yup, it was me, mom, and all the grandmas so I understand where the stereotype comes from. Doesn't mean it's accurate all the time though! There are many many young quilters on this board and at my in-person quilting guild.
But more importantly, who cares anyway? A friend is a friend. A hobby is a hobby. I'm glad to do quilting and hang out with quilters regardless of ages 'cause it makes me happy. |
