Because it takes me so long to handquilt I have also taken up LA quilting. Here are some pictures of some of my handquilting.
Beautiful work!! I have only hand quilted some pillows. I have arthritis in my hands and that limits the time I can work at it. I love the look though and have a couple of old bed size quilts that have been completely hand pieced and quilted. I love them to pieces... :thumbup: :lol:
