I'm 53 and just started quilting this past year. My 95 year young MIL got me interested because her eyesight was going and she couldn't finish the quilts she had in progress. (Probably 20-25 of them) I spent last year working with her and learning so much. Don't give up this wonderful hobby until you are absolutely forced to.
Besides - there is so much beautiful fabric out there to be played with.. Can you hear it calling your name???
