I am so proud to say that I just had a birthday the 21st of April and I turned 70 years young!!! I started quilting at about 50 I guess but have been sewing for much longer. Probably since about 6 years old when I made my Grandma a pot holder and embroidered on it too. My Mom was a wonderful teacher!

61 and getting addicted to old singers. I have had an empty nest for 12 years. OUr youngest stayed at the college during the summer and worked to help pay for her tuition. She paid for it all on her own too. She is now in HR at a coal mine in Wyoming. She comes home once in a while. like Christmas and once in the summer. I have two daughters who live 50miles from me and I went there today and did some shopping for calf pellets and some health aids and also to visit 4 of my grandchildren. The oldest is in NY and she has a 5 yr old. Used to go there before I had to work so much to pay for health ins and now my job pays most of it. It was 1300 a MONTH for two and now I pay 400 for two.

Well, I had to use my calculator to figure it out and I came up with 62 years old. I stopped counting for a long time when I was 39. Sounded like a good age so I stayed there for 10 years. I'm happy to be 62 because I was able to retire. Now I get to quilt as much as I want to. I do substitute teaching to earn money for fabric.
