Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan. Your painting skills intrigue me as I have not a painting bone in my body. I hand quilt as well as machine piece and quilt. I love the relaxing feeling that comes with hand quilting and piecing. I am also a vintage machine lover and have 14, not as many as some here, vintage machines. They are in working order. You should have a lot of fun here and there is so much to share and learn. Glad you have joined us. Again welcome to the QB.
