There are so many reasons why people get into their hobby. Some want to create heirloom quality quilts, while others might just want to pass the time. For me, it's usually a way to relax and unwind from a stressful day. I have no desire to create a show quilt. I just enjoy working on them and seeing how the finished quilt comes out. I'm far from perfect, but the recipients would never notice. Some people want every gadget to help them achieve perfection, while others only want the basics. I'm somewhere in between. I'm glad I found this board. I've learned so much from other people's experience, and probably have saved money in the long run because of it.
