I just turned 30 6 months ago or as i call it 20/10, does that count

28 here. I've been sewing/crafting/scrapbooking for about 5 years now and this summer will be my 2nd year mark for quilting.

Well, folks, it has been many moons since I was in my 20s. I started quilting in my 60's. I'm glad I did. It is so good for me. Keeping my mind active. This board helps too.

I am so encouraged that young women and men are interested in this craft. Keep it up. Use old patterns or make up your own more modern. The basics are the same. Measure twice and cut once. Enjoy and God bless you all.

I started quilting when I was in my teens. I'm 55 now. Good to know there are young people out there to carry on the art.

Interesting to see how this thread has been picked up again, and great to see so many young quilters (both in age and heart!) joining! My little granddaughter is 4, but when she was visiting a few weeks ago, showed interest when I was doing a border stitch around a fleece blanket for her dolly. She asked if she could do it, and I said no, she was too young yet. "Okay, but can I do it when I'm 5?" "Yes, Molly, you can when you're 5." And if she's still interested, Grandma will start teaching her! :)
