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

I am 44.

You are?



I'm 64. I've been sewing since I was big enough to sit in a chair and reach the pedals of a treadle machine.

I've been knitting since I was 11-12. I learned simple crochet at the same time. More complicated crochet maybe 8-10 years later.

I've been embroderiing since I as in the early grades.

The first thing I remember that would qualify as quilting was when I was 20 or so and did a small lone star for the back of a chambray shirt.

I learned most of this from my mom. I've never had a home ec class or any other craft class in my life.

I'm 61 - Is that an old lady? I guess so, but I feel younger. Linda

I am 73 and 1/2, and I have no doubt that many of the women quilters along with myself could hold their own doing a hard days work with men of your husbands age, sugar in or out of whack. Being from Texas tell him be careful of talking about age, he may not get any older. Have a good day even with your "BH" husband....memepeggy

I'm pretty senior as years go, but refuse your husband's category of "old ladies." I'm 82, still teaching (adults only, these days!), and quilting as much as I can, between keeping the household together, playing tennis, piano, and gardening. Grateful for good genes, and recommend that we all "keep busy" and keep going!

Good for you! You are an inspiration to keep doing whatever we can at whatever age we are!
