I started quilting at 47 when my youngest child went to college. I've been sewing since I was 10 years old and wanted to start quilting in my early 20's but the children came along and life got busy. I continued doing "regular" sewing projects until I had the room and time for this great hobby!

When myson was young he said doing dishes was girls work and I told him it was the work of whoever was doing it. He is glad now that I taught him girl things.

I'm 48, but my 21 year old daughter has gone to quilting classes with me and she likes it. I think when her life slows down a little...she will join us I watched my mom do it for years... I wish I had taken an interest while she was still here.

I just turned 32 and have been quilting for about one year. I learned how to sew when I was a kid, just getting back into it now.

Mid 50's here (I forget the exact number ) - My DD said the same thing a number of years back (I forget when too)
Seems like the 'age' is getting younger and younger!

There are old women and old quilters but there is no correlation.

I'm 45, but feel 25, and I just started to teach myself to quilt. My mom who is proudly 66 never quilted a day in her life; nor do I remember my grandmothers quilting, they but crocheted. So your "friend" can just believe whatever he wishes. This is a great hobby and he should be so lucky to enjoy one of your creations!!

I helped other people quilt, but had never done one myself start to finish until I turned 69. So age is not a thing that anyone can use here. Yes an old dog can learn new tricks.

53 and definitely not "old." I don't think sensible people connect a craft with age anymore, nor skill with age anymore.

I'm 27 and I started quilted quilting when I was 23.
