    Since I just celebrated my 87th birthday, I guess I fit the description of "old lady". I have only been quilting for about 14 years so I was older when I started. Hope all of you grow old and quilt on the way.

    As of frog90:

    Average age of respondents is 55!

    567 people responded. Not all of you gave your age and some where duplicate post. Some replied to others post.

    The youngest was adorabowe at 20 and the oldest is Betty Boop's mom at 90. Fern Anderson was next at 85.

    There were 8 under 20 that various people included in their reply.

    Breakdown by age:

    20's 9
    30's 21
    40's 75
    50's 168
    60's 164
    70's 80
    80's 11
    90's 1

    susanpillsbury thanks for the chuckle.

    That was fun! I will do another pole next week!

    Thanks to all those who wanted to help knock some sense into my man. 22 years married and I can handle him. I was just curious myself about the age. Love to all!

    70 and proud of it. It is better to be seen than viewed I always say. Started quilting 5 years ago.

    You probably don't want my reply for your average-- I'm 76.. going on 60.. Snow ski, Coast Guard Auxiliary patrols, Dolphin Watch on board. Quilting, for me, is about creativity, not age.
