Hi David
My husband has been quilting for about 14 years. Started out doing only hand piecing and hand quilting and won a number of awards. When asked by the girls in the office, he decided to use a machine to piece and quilt a baby quilt for anyone who became pregant ( first pregancy only). Other than the baby quilts, he continues to "quilt as our fore-mothers did" and enjoys every minute of it.
