Welcome to QB. I live in Snohomish now but lived in Spokane Valley for many years before moving here. Our last home in Spokane was just a couple of blocks west of State Line. My sewing experience was much like yours; started in 4-H when 9 and made all my own clothes until I was in my 20's. Now I am retired and quilting is my job. Finally getting to pull all the fabrics out of my closet that I stashed away while I was working. My new adventure has been to learn FMQ and ruler work so I can finish quilts myself and loving it.
