Inherited Husqvarna Viking Sewing Machine

I’m really enjoying this machine! I have so much to learn. I inherited this from my late mother in law. She made the most beautiful baby blankets for my boys. I would love to learn how to make them in honor and appreciation of her. If you know of sites, blogs, tutorials, vidoes, etc that would help me; I would appreciate it.
