As you know I love to hand quilt. For me it depends on the pattern and who its for, time of year (cannot hand-quilt when its hot!!!) and the time restraints that are on me. One for my mom, hand-appliqued and hand-quilted (no pictures, forgot before I sent it out). If I'm doing something that hopefully will be kept as a hierloom then I hand-quilt even though its machine pieced. Even baby wallhangings and quilts I've hand-quilted.

I love handwork as long as my arm cooperates with me (carpal tunnel has been acting up). I find it more relaxing. I actually have a couple of quilts that I'm going to make for Christmas that will be machine-quilted. One I'm going to try and use a twin-needle design on and the other I haven't even figured out the pattern yet (have the material though).

As long as I can do handwork I will.
