Hello from Nebraska, good for you for reaching out. You will enjoy being part of this board. I'm kind of a snowbird, too. For a much shorter time than you though. Usually 3 months, this year we were ready to come home after 2 months for some reason and so we did. So enjoy your time reading about quilts and buying fabric when you feel like it. Don't pressure yourself to have to sew. You will when you are ready.
