I am a nurse and have been nursing for 30 years. I just had my 30th wedding anniversary. I love to embroider on my machine which is a Singer Quantum XL-6000. Before this one I had a Pacesetter 6500 and a Janome 8000. I liked all the machines but kept wanting a larger field. I love quilts and hope to make more someday when I no longer need to work full time. I have 1 child, a daughter, and 2 granddaughters, 3 and 7. They light up our lives tremendously.
