Oh My, you certaintly do beautiful work. I love them all, especially the first on and the star. I machine quilt my quilts, because I hate to do hand work. I have never attempted to hand quilt a quilt, and probably never will. I know I would never ever get it finished. I admire the work and I know it is hard work of all who hand quilt., but it just isn't something I would want to do personally. We have several in our quilting guild that do hand quilts and they are just beautiful. I hope the art of hand quilting never dies out because it really is beautiful and unique. Keep up the GOOD work, and don't get too discouraged with all of us who don't do hand work. Everyone has their own thing and some of us just don't like to do hand work. I think everyone admires hand quilting. I do agree that there should be a special section in all quilt shows just for hand quilted quilts.
