I am new to quilting...even new to sewing. I had an interest for years but with life, kids, work, etc. sewing was not my top priority. Six years ago I moved next door to a quilter. I was so excited, because now I had found someone who could help me to learn something I had always wanted to do. This new friend guided me in how to use all the "tools" of quilting, I took a few classes, and I even purchased a nice sewing machine. After reading information and seeing demos at quilt shows (and after having read "Help, I'm Married to a Quilter), I purchased an HQ16 because of the ease of use and the fact that it was designed by a quilter. It just seemed like a natural progression. I have had my HQ16 now for about a year and a half and am starting to get comfortable with it. I have spent lots of time piecing and after talking to so many people that told me to practice, practice, practice with the quilter, I have really started to "get serious" about putting in time on learning the HQ16. I have made many charity quilts and even quilted a couple quilts for myself! I feel like I have been able to fulfill a life-long desire. My quilting friend recently told me I am obsessed. She just might be right.....but what better obsession!!!
