I am kinda new at posting this stuff and chatting on here. I love that I found this spot to talk to others that do what I do. I have been quilting for 40 years off and on. I have done all kinds but now I just mainly hand piece, applique, and hand quilt. I am so disappointed that machines are taking over and only saw about 6 quilts at the show that were hand done and the 6 were from the Amish that someone purchased. Quilting started out the old fashioned way and I love the look of hand work. I am not alone. You should see the women that I talked to that agree. The machine work is really beautiful, but it should be a whole different catagory. Good luck and happy quilting, no matter which type you do. Its addictive so be prepared and start your so important fabric stash. :)
