I'm new here too! I've only been piecing quilts for 2 years. I have just begun quilting them these last few months. My husband bought me a Janome for HIS birthday (I have the best husband). It's not an embroidry machine though. someday...
I have 3 daughters, and 2 step-daughters and none of them sew. I started my little granddaughter sewing 2 summers ago. She turned 6 this past October, but she lives 6 hours away so I plan all kinds of projects for us to do toghether over the summer break.
