I feel pretty good, because at 67, I fall into one of the larger groups of quilters. And I would say that you are never too old to learn. I have been putting blocks together for years, but this board has helped me so much in learning tricks to make putting those blocks together easier. I really don't call myself a quilter, because I don't get the hang of FMQ, and am too impatient to practice, practice, practice, when I can be sewing more tops, so all of my pieces are SID. It works for me.

wow, I am almost average!

This was fun and quite interesting! Thanks and I look forward to anymore surveys! :)

I think that one of the reasons the majority are in their 50's & 60's is because they finally have the time ! I didn't answer originally - didn't see the post until the results were tallied. I am 44. My mother was a sew-er and a pretty good one too. I did some sewing in my late 20's and early 30's - a few easy pattern skirts and shorts and some easy baby quilts. My last child is 4 yrs old and in school every morning. I am just finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and finally have a chunk of time to get some things done. I am finding it difficult to get someone to go to classes with me though :( it is more fun with a friend!

I am amazed at the young mothers who are able to find time to quilt. I think of Leah Day who posts her demos. God Bless you All.

Yes! I AM average!

Wow! That was really interesting.

does that make most of us old? yep! that's Ok though. with age comes wisdom!

This is really interesting!!

Thanks for the REALLY INTERESTING SURVEY. And amazing there is one 90! Congrats to her - bet she has quilted many years.
