Hi Lise! Welcome to the board....
Great to have a lighthouse keeper here! I'm from Maine originally... so I grew up with the coast in my backyard. Gotta respect keepers!
Get those machines tuned up, oiled and runnin! I've found that quilting is a great stress relief. I can putter around in my quilt 'cave' (aka the spare bedroom) for hours. Better than TV!
check out all the tutorials we have here too... lots of good stuff.
