Hi Wend, Welcome to the Forum! I hope you find the info you need to choose the right machine for you. Last year I was in the same place you are, except I had already decided on an APQS, just wasn't sure when to buy and which machine. I went to a APQS Road Show in Feb and saw several machines and got to try them all. Like you, I am only quilting for myself, and I chose to get a new Lenni, and I love her! Just wish I had more time to quilt! Everyone at APQS has been great to work with. Enjoy your search!

NQR - BABIES ARE HERE Updated with Pics
alnaquilts replied to Primitive1's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Congratulations Grandma!! What beautiful blessings!!! You are so fortunate to be so close to them, you will be able to watch them grow! I only get to see 4 of mine a couple times a year because they are 1/2 a country away from me, but the other 2 are just 2 hrs away, so see them more often! I'm sure there are baby quilts in the works or already done--enjoy!! -
Hi Carol, welcome!! How great to have a Millie and then be retiring soon!! I'm also a RN, and just started a full-time job, so that really cuts into my quilting time. I got a Lenni in March, and wish I had more time to quilt! I'll have to wait about 10 years before retirement. . . I agree, this forum is great, and I learn so much! Enjoy your Millie!

Welcome natderueil! I love your feathers! Thanks for posting the videos-now I'm motivated to try them again, and not try to make them all the same size, which I couldn't accomplish anyway!

BurnOut!!!
alnaquilts replied to countrystitcher's topic in Ask The Expert - Thread, Needle, Bobbins
While I'm not burned out; I'm feeling overwhelmed with a new full-time job, so I can identify with you. I'm a nurse, and we were taught in nursing school the importance of taking care of yourself so you are capable of taking care of others. This is also true in other areas of life--you need to be rested and emotionally healthy to function well, in work and "play." Take time for yourself, and some time off of quilting until you feel ready. Soon you will be excited to get back to it! Hope things are getting better for you already! -
