Wow! This fellow needs to be brought into this century!!!! IMHO. Folks of all ages are doing all sorts of things. Doesn't he watch the news?

My daughter jusst turned 30 and is quilting. She has fallen in love with this craft. I also enjoy having her quilt with me. It gives us so much time to visit as we sew

So true! I have 14 children.

I finally realized that I function better and can serve my family better when I take better care of myself. That includes occasionally telling my husband that I need some time for myself to just sit and sew. He has quickly learned to keep the kids occupied, and I come back an hour later in a much better mood.

My former LQS has kid's camps during the summer for boys and girls, ages 8-14. I started at 47.

I'm 45 and my granddaughter is 4. I've been sewing since I was 11 and quilting for only about a year. Aaliyah loves to help me! I won't let her sew by herself yet but that day is coming faster than I thought it would. I'm amazed at how fast she is catching on and the smile on her face when we finish a project is priceless!!!

my 12 yr old ggrandaughter just finished her 2nd quilt. It is reg size the first was a lap quilt. Her brother 6 has made to quilts for his stuffed animals. They both love to sew. The granddaughter even got her own machine for Christmas

I'm 56 been sewing since I was 12. Tell him there are a lot of guy quilters in my Guild and Bee. Maybe he can learn

I couldn't agree more. I have always put myself first, from the moment I became a wife. I have a supportive husband who is always there to take the kids for the day so I can go to my monthly quilting day or classes.
