I'm 63 and I don't feel old (most days) I've been quilting for 20 years..my group of quilting friends range from 48 to 81(she's more active at times than I am..lol..) and you can tell DH that 4 of the top quilters today are men..not old ladies!!

I'm 57 and my sugar has always been out of whack since 2000.Today it is 53, yesterday was 105. Plus my 10 yr. old grandson loves to quilt with Nana.

I promise not to share your age (he, he) but with the few thousand on our board. I am 44. You are? And what difference would it make to your husband or anyone else whether most people who quilt are 10 or 110? Are people supposed to stop doing something or fail to start doing something because they have reached a certain age? Do men quit whatever it is they do or fail to start something because they reach 60, 65, 70 or 75? |
I'm 63 and feel 36 sometimes. Happy Birthday grandme26 for yesterday.
|
Just turned 56 earlier this month but just so your hubby knows, I am a member a guild with almost 100 members, ages ranging from 13 to (only God knows), male & female ta' boot!

I'm a very young 59.

Tell DH that It's only a number!! 64 here and I plan to make it to 100 so I can finish all my projects :)
|
74
Finally found time to quilt! |
42 now, but geeze, I started quilting when Emilie was a baby- she's 16 now. So that means I was a quilter in my mid 20's. The problem with youth is competition for money between fabric and diapers, and for time to do it. If I had no problems with money then, I would have been making quilts for every bed and every doll the kids possessed!
|
60 but a VERY YOUNG 60! LOL
|
64 but I think a fairer way would be to ask when did you start quilting.. Just think how many started as a child and are still doing it, says alot about the love of quilting.
|
I guess I am an "old Lady" 68. I sew for charity. Take care of grandchildren when the need arises. Walk 2 to 4 miles a day. Take care of my home and garden, make our bread and cook mostly from scratch. There are women much younger who might not do as much. "old lady" is a state of mind....depends on whose mind. Tell hubby there are "old men" who watch sports....does he? lol
|
53 here.

Sorry - I am 69 11/12
