You have caught some fish if fishing for compliments. Your quilting is beautiful. Wish I could handquilt - to my satisfaction, but I can't get the stitches like my mother and grandmother did so I get frustrated. And, my fingers go numb - therefore, I use a machine and also all the STUFF that goes with machine quilting.
But, I admire you - your have a wonderful hobby, beautifully done, and don't have the need for all the extras. You are indeed a quilter - in the truest form!
