YOu will find that you have less time to quilt once you find the board.

Isn't this the greatest place. I was looking for a hobby and found an extended family.

Your machine in the attic will be a tad older than the 50's if she has a long bobbin. More than likely the 20's or 30's. I bet in no time at all, you will be up in that attic, getting that machine down and checking her out, cleaning, oiling, and revelling in such fun and when the power goes out and the electric machines are silent, your machine will stitch along merrily. I have a 127 and a 66, one with the long bobbin and one with the drop in round bobbin but still have to get the one cabinet in shape to sew on.'Well, long winded me started this to welcome you from WV and tell you that you have landed in the Motherlode of quilting help and inspiration.

I came looking for inspiration and have been amazed.
In a week I have decided on the quilt I want to make, found an amazing person, Colleen who has agreed to make it with me even though we are thousands of miles apart and have never met.
Agreed to start a pinwheel project.
Been told about fantastic online stores that I never knew about
Chatted to some really lovely people in the chat room
....all this inspired me to completly sort out my sewing room and organise my stash revealing loads of wonderful fabrics I had completly forgotten about.....
What a week.... Thank you

Little RoO, you are in for such a eye opening experience. There is no question or pattern that you can't get help with. The ladies on this board are soooo smart and have so much experience.
Welcome, hold on tight you are in for the ride of your life.
I have been quilting for years and have learned more in the months I have been here than all the years before. You make such good friends here too. I found a pen pal and I'm 73, my first pen pal. Welcome
