Hi my name is Barbara and I am 77. I have been reading messages on this site for a few weeks. I have enjoyed the stories about quilting, and colors and patterns, but have not had a real need to respond to any of them. BUT, today I read a posting from a lady, 71 years old that had a doubt about starting anything new due to her age. Well, what would you be doing if you quit quilting? Come on, start something new and just keep it going, fun and useful will win every time.
