I just finished hand quilting a quilt for a friend. She had embroidered the blocks and set them together. I love to do those as I don't have to mark them. I hate marking. I would quilt for someone who would do my marking for me. I have taken several lessons for machine quilting, but I just can't make it look like the pros do. I can't stitch in the ditch as I can't stay in the ditch, even with a stitch-in-the-ditch food.
