Judith speaking..... I've been reading your advice and looking at your beautiful quilts for some two+ years now. I stopped sewing for about ten years and then a friend "shamed" me into making our first quilt (I got my "engineer type" husband to help) - for our first grandchild. Yep, that was the beginning three years ago and we have been making projects/quilts in the sewing room ever since. That is, when my husband isn't embroidering on our Bernina 630! I still have and use my old 930 workhorse some 30 years. I look forward to reading more advice and hints in the future.
