Hello Billi, and welcome to the Quilting Board from sunny Nevada! If it's inspiration, help and support you're looking for, you've come to the right place. You're right about all the new techniques as well. I can remember cutting cloth with scissors for Pete's sake! You can definitely make a quilt more quickly and easily than you used to -- all of sewing is easier too. I just got my first computerized sewing machine, and I'm still learning what it can do. We have fun in the land of quilting!

Hi Neighbor...I am just up the coast a bit! Sounds like this will be one of your new hang outs...be careful...you can get sidetracked easily
