i was just thinking about how many years ago how they use to quilt by hand and piece by hand and i wonder how many are doing it now i like to sit and piece and hand quilt i feel relax when i do it and can take it with me and still enjoy the quilting .

I love hand work. It's how I first taught myself to sew. I always have at least one hand quilting project going. Right now I have 2 -- a grandmother's flower garden and a Dear Jane. Both will be hand pieced and hand quilted. I actually feel more confident with just a needle and thread -- probably because it is how I first started. Just wish I could sew faster.

At times I feel like the dinosaur with all my hand pieceing, hand quilting.
Travel across our state 250-300 miles every other weekend one way and my hand sttichen keeps me sane. Just finished 7 sisters Queen size, still have not figured out hoow to get hoop in front seat as H drives.

I most enjoy the handquilting. I will admit that I only piece by machine and only when necessary. If I had my druthers I would do all whole cloth or what I call cheaters cloth which are preprinted fabrics that look like patchwork or applique. I have done a number of those type peices which have to be examined closely to tell that they were actually whole cloth.
