I learned to crochet at age 18 then quit after a few years and picked up cross stitch and fell in love with that still do it now. When my daughter was in Jr. high school I made some jumper dresses for her and PJ's for her and my son. Then when my DH Aunt passed a few years ago. She used to sew, quilt,and make drapes. I was given alot of her fabric so I decided I wanted to learn to quilt. I also have a couple of her quilts that she made got me inspired to learn for myself so I started teaching myself how to quilt in 2006 and haven't stopped since then. I'm addicted at 53 and can't give it up or its my therapy. :)
