Im on top of the hill, come down the other side....50! OMG, closer to 51!!!!

leakus 04-27-2011 07:06 PM

46 and quilting for about 10 years. I was just diagnosed with Artritis but I was thinking. If the average for a human being is to live about 80, I just passed half of my life so I am young!
Still wondering how the second part is going to be but can easily picture quilting in my future.

svenskaflicka1 04-27-2011 07:09 PM

i'm 62. i'll be 63 at the end of the summer. holy moley, rocky! how did i get this old??? it shocked me when i looked in the mirror and said that out loud. and then i laughed and put on my jeans and tee shirt anyways.

i won't be old until i'm 90.

OLD? What is old? I am 61.

wichypoo 04-27-2011 07:16 PM

58 and counting. Old ladies had to start early enough to learn their skills. Thank God they pass their knowledge on to us.

pnptrapp 04-27-2011 07:22 PM

I"m 31! and have been quilting since I was in my early 20's!

roseOfsharon 04-27-2011 07:25 PM

62 here and still as young at heart as I was at 20! It's good to see so many younger quilters, I was late starting the craft and wished I had known to do so much younger! Men seem to equate quilters as old biddys who sit around in groups and chat and sew ( lol sometimes we do! ) But for the most part it is an individual *sport*, one that brings us together in spirit no matter the age!

clynns 04-27-2011 07:27 PM

54 as of January.

0tis 04-27-2011 07:29 PM

I like that. The "sport"of quilting. :lol:

ghostrider 04-27-2011 08:10 PM

The average (thru dlwillia) is 54.6 years old (106 replies and a total of 5786 years, so the next person to compute from here doesn't have to start all over again).
