I'm 56 been quilting since I was 36 ...we have a quilt store here and they have kids that are 10 and up... it was a lost art for awhile but it seems to be coming back again....and we even have men that quilt and love it. Rosey Greer was a football player and his gramma taught him to knit. Tell him not to tease you or you won't make him a quilt to keep him warm on those cold nights.....
