    73 in a few weeks and walk 3 miles, 6 days a week. Played softball for 25 consecutive years (pitcher) until I was 67. That husband needs to go to a Quilt Show and see the "young" gals that attend. God is so good.

    I am 57 will be 58 in July. I taught my neice to quilt when she was 33 or so. I have another neice 7 yrs old who wants to learn. She emailed me last week to volunteer myself to babysit her this summer and she said to please bring my small sewing machine!!! I dont think age has much to do with quilting. I think it is about art and creativity.
