I have a friend who had been trying to drag me into the quilt world for years, and I had resisted vigorously. While I appreciated the work and admired the quality, I just couldn't see myself making one. And then I discovered the Modern Quilt Guild, and it was all over! I now own three machines, have the significant part of a room dedicated to quilting, and I'm building a lovely stash. There is something about the simplicity of design and color that appeals to me, which is funny, because it's nothing like me.
