when i was 62 I started studying karate. at first I was very frustrated. At 71 I passed my black belt test. How....I stopped comparing myself to others and just went at my own speed. I loved what I was doing and that kept me going. It is the same with quilting, which at the age of 75 I am learning. Go at your own speed and love what you are doing. You will be fine.and don't be afraid to ask for help....
