My biggest change was getting some space, TO quilt. We moved/greatly downsized, about three years ago; I lost my sewing room and my sewing machine was shoved into a small space, with no room for a cutting table. This year, dh worked on insulating and finishing the inside of a shed, for me. It isn't perfect (still being used for some storage) but I now have room to actually cut and sew! I also bought myself a new sewing machine, after 35 years.
