Welcome Faith,
From a Northern Michigan quilter. Sounds like you ARE a quilter, not wanna be. After you make your first quilt you are a quilter. I have 2 treadle sewing machines, one White and one Singer. They were both restored by my step father one for me and the other was my grandmothers. I learned to quilt on them. Welcome to the board, I am sure you will love it here.
