At age 77, Chris Sutton has been quilting for 40+ years. She now teaches beginners' classes in her home town of Beachmere, in Queensland Australia and beyond. Chris is a vigorous champion of the benefits quilting brings to health and wellbeing for the over 50s. " Quilting is the complete package for healthy ageing and risk reduction for dementia." she says, "We can't take away the risk factor of age, but we can lessen the others through the brain health, social engagement, exercise and wellbeing benefits of quilting."Chris is concerned that many long-time quilters are giving up when, for many, the right tools and techniques will keep them quilting much longer."This is why I wrote YNTOTQ. It contains the tips, tools, techniques and technologies to keep us quilting for as long as possible."
