Jane, I did the same thing that you did, bought all kinds of fabrics, tools, supplies and two sewing machines, getting prepared for when I would have the time to start quilting. I have enjoyed all that I have tried so far, and even one that is being a pain that I have set that aside and will come back to it later. I am guessing that once you get started, and in your case in a class, you will forge ahead and get as hooked as the rest of us :D :D :D :D :D :D
