All I can say is WOW! Your quilts are gorgeous. Hopefully hand quilting will never die out.
I think one of the reasons machine quilting is so popular has to do with time and patience. At least that's it for me. The quilts I've hand quilted have taken months, and in some cases years, to complete. I like to see results quicker. Also, many take advantage of long-arm quilting services.
I wished someone would put handwork areas of the quilt shows to show off the hard work we hand quilters do.
I remember when it was the machine quilters who weren't recognized. Machine quilters were told they weren't quilting if it wasn't done by hand. Now it seems just the opposite. I feel there should be a place for each.
