Funny you should mention the "being good at it". I often remark to my husband that this is a hobby I should have started in my youth, so I would have had time to become accomplished. We are newlyweds of two years next month and he loves - and wants to keep :( - everything I make - quilting or loom knitting. He never wants to give anything away. He is always snuggled under one of my afghans or quilts with the dog watching tv while I quilt!
I may not be around long enough to get good at it but I enjoy it immensely!
