Fortunately , there are not a lot of hand quilters in my area so I stay busy. Mostly handquilt those which belonged to their mom, grandma, etc that started as handquilted. So I finish their quilts with handstitching. On some, tehy even like me to "match" their loved ones stitches so I sew just like they did on the original by length of stitches, etc. I do not work so I can quilt daily as often as I like. And my guild refers everyone to me when someone asks about hand stitching. I taught my 11 year old GD and the 13 yr old gd and I am going to continue the tradition. And then I love to machine quilt with those wonderful big machines. Each of my Children adn grandchildren and best friends have a quilt I handquilted with love for each of them. I wanted them to know I took the time to make theirs with lots of love and time. Happy quilting. Long live Handquilters.....
