Hi Nettie, welcome to the board. It is a great place to make new friends and get lots of helpful feedback. I'm like you, I sewed because I had to when I was younger (or wear my brother's hand me downs) and kindof quit when I went to work and didn't have to. I got interested in quilting about 5 years ago and now am hooked. Hope to see some of your projects as you get them finished up. I see on the weather y'all have ice headed your way. Be careful and drop in here often!
