Welcome Jenn and greetings from the left coast (Seattle area)! I'm 2 years younger than you and anxiously waiting/wanting to be a proud grandma
Don't know when/if it will happen but I already have two completed crib quilts and a pair of twin tops ready...
Grats on your machine and loving it. Sewing is much easier when we like our machines. I have an old machine as my primary (1940s?? Remington, belonged to a friend's grandmother), plus a couple other old machines as back-up. I'll be visiting a friend in November and she wants me to take her Bernina back home with me -- the machine itself has mixed reviews but she used it for years so it isn't a dud and it has an automatic threader which will be nice for me. It's used price is still several times more than I'd be willing to pay.
