Hi, I am 57. However, I can sympathize with hubby and a messed up sugar level. I have the same problem. Jeanniebelle

I promise not to share your age (he, he) but with the few thousand on our board.

I am 44.

You are?

Tell him he should be glad that you aren't hanging out with the Chippendales and that Quilting keeps you off the streets!!

I am 63 and have only quilted for 10 years. I consider myself a newbie!

Fern Anderson 04-28-2011 06:32 AM

I'm 85 but closer to 86. Quilting keeps me out of mischief!

oma66 04-28-2011 06:34 AM

On the outside, my age is revealed at 68 - but everything else is still that young girl of long ago.

adorabowe 04-28-2011 06:35 AM

I'm 20, which I think makes me the youngest so far!

Hi! I guess I qualify for "The Little Old Quilting Lady" title. I will be 82 on July 22. I am still young in my mind and heart. Kate01

lovetoquilt 04-28-2011 06:44 AM

I am 63. I have been sewing since I was 9. Started quilting about 21 years ago and love it. We just recently retired so now I get to quilt all day.

June Bug 04-28-2011 06:44 AM

ggreenridley 04-28-2011 06:46 AM

I am 60 and started quilting to expand my creative side. I did other crafts for many years.

Tell your husband what I tell mine..."Every time you are mean to me, your willy gets smaller."

Deara 04-28-2011 06:48 AM

I will be 56 this summer.


Blessings,
Sandi

djmormon 04-28-2011 06:49 AM

What is old? Depends who is asking. I guess from the numbers we are old. I am 62 and my daughter that quilts with me is 23. Maybe the older ladies have more time to read the blog. I am an old lady but that is OK. We all grow older, some better at it than others.
So if your husband is your age, 44, then some 20 year olds would think he is old.

Had a big laugh out of that one!!

LindaaJR 04-28-2011 06:54 AM

I am 72 according to the calender, and am always shocked when I say my age out loud. Where did the years go? Started sewing when I was 11-12. Take care.

crazyquilter56 04-28-2011 06:57 AM

I'm 56 been quilting since I was 36 ...we have a quilt store here and they have kids that are 10 and up... it was a lost art for awhile but it seems to be coming back again....and we even have men that quilt and love it. Rosey Greer was a football player and his gramma taught him to knit. Tell him not to tease you or you won't make him a quilt to keep him warm on those cold nights.....

charhend 04-28-2011 07:01 AM

Well.............So far I have of you beaten! I'm 67.
I still do all of the yard work (mow,edge,and blow). I don't have a housekeeper nor a cook. In between all of this I manage to do a lot of quilting. Age is in the mind!

KathyE 04-28-2011 07:02 AM

glorybound 04-28-2011 07:06 AM

I'm 55, which is a great age. Children are grown, health is good, debt free, 3 beautiful grandsons - 2 mos. to 2 yrs. - that'll keep ya young! I'm launching a new business and also have time to pursue my interests, quilting being one of them. God has blessed, and indeed, His mercies are new every day.
