Marcy J, I am 73 almost 74 and begin quilting only two years ago...have so enjoyed it, my Mom was a quilter and I have several quilts she made and would not take a Million dollars for any one of them...you can find the time if you really want to quilt, I quilt at night and some during the day when I am not spending time with children, grand children and great grand children or trying to keep up with my husband, two homes and a dog that is my Baby...there is always time....please pm if you just want to bounce something off of some other little old lady...that plans to get a lot older....memepeggy
