When I was deciding whether to buy a new machine about 8 years ago my son thought I probably shouldn't since his daughters were "getting to the age where they didn't want homemade things." I pointed out I had a sewing life for 45 years before they were born, and I still had a life apart from grandchildren. I got the machine and have made a lot of people (and myself) happy and stay too busy to meddle in their lives. Keep quilting.
