Joy, I'm sure your quilts are beautiful! As others have stated, most of us don't have the fancy machines or gadgets. We quilt with what we have and boy do we have a good time doing it. It is an stress reliever for me also, I love the "me time" even though it seems like I'm unsewing (seam ripper) more than actually sewing. Just enjoy the time you have to quilt something for those you love and surely love you. What an amazing gift you are to others. Love and Prayers!
