No, I just started quilting about 2 years ago and don't have a lot of time to spend on it, but enjoy it so much. My granddaughter who just turned 17 got me interested in quilting when she took a class at our lqs and made a doll quilt. Then she wanted to make a big one so together we (mostly her) did it. Now I love the piecing, but take the quilts to a laq. Have made mostly lap quilts.
