I promise not to share your age (he, he) but with the few thousand on our board.
I am 44.
You are?
I'm 64. I've been sewing since I was big enough to sit in a chair and reach the pedals of a treadle machine.
I've been knitting since I was 11-12. I learned simple crochet at the same time. More complicated crochet maybe 8-10 years later.
I've been embroderiing since I as in the early grades.
The first thing I remember that would qualify as quilting was when I was 20 or so and did a small lone star for the back of a chambray shirt.
I learned most of this from my mom. I've never had a home ec class or any other craft class in my life.
