I also want it to be a fast project so I can see some accomplishment quickly. I'll share with my dear Board friends that I'm in the midst of a family issue with sisters and dealing with a family estate. It seems I'm staying depressed. :( So I'm hoping this will take my mind of what is going on and I won't get frustrated with the project!! :(

I also have an embroidery machine I can use...maybe In The Hoop Quilting.

Any suggestions would be so welcomed!!
I too have some stress going on in the family; quilting helps me take my mind off it. And each stitch is like poking the offending stress maker (feels good). I would start with precuts, either charm squares or layer cakes. They are easy and fast and just a lot of fun. And I love quilting with the embroidery machine. Just remember to HAVE FUN!
