I just went " over the hill"of 60 last week so I guess I can be considered one of those older ladies who quilts. I've been sewing, crocheting afghans & misc. other things since my late teens. I feel too that age means nothing in the quilting world. In my sit & sew group & our quilt guild they are all ages not any really young ones but I enjoy all of them. I figure if they're of the "older" generation lol that they just might be able to teach me something. I'm going on my third quilt retreat this weekend with pretty much the same group & we really have a good time. Some of the "older" ones never even go to bed!
My body may feel like 60 most mornings but my mind is still very young & hope to keep it that way.
