Since I just celebrated my 87th birthday, I guess I fit the description of "old lady". I have only been quilting for about 14 years so I was older when I started. Hope all of you grow old and quilt on the way.

susanpillsbury thanks for the chuckle.

That was fun! I will do another pole next week!

Thanks to all those who wanted to help knock some sense into my man. 22 years married and I can handle him. I was just curious myself about the age. Love to all!

75 June 1st never sewed or quilted until I retired. in 1999

I'll be 59 this summer

70 and proud of it. It is better to be seen than viewed I always say. Started quilting 5 years ago.

You probably don't want my reply for your average-- I'm 76.. going on 60.. Snow ski, Coast Guard Auxiliary patrols, Dolphin Watch on board. Quilting, for me, is about creativity, not age.

I will celebrate the big 50 this fall but started quilting in my 30s

53, but my wii says I am 42 ;-)
