Ok... here goes... I definitely want to hand quilt something... have for years! Took the "hand quilting without pain" class at my LQS... but have put it off and put it off... sigh...
I keep thinking I need one of those nifty hoops I see in the quilt magazine.... or a large frame so the whole quilt can be ready... And then I thought since it's been years ago I took the class, I need to take it again...
But really, what I need to do is just "shut up and drive" as it were.
I need to just start quilting!!! Ladies and gentlemen who hand quilt, you've inspired me. I'll never get better at it unless I just dive in, right?
After cleaning out my DD's bedroom (where I'd stored some stuff), I found the first thing I pieced in my first piecing class. It is spray basted to the backing and is just calling to me to be quilted. It's not large, and even though some say the spray basting is not good for hand quilting, I'm thinking this is the piece on which I should begin the journey.
Please let me know if my thinking is "off?" I'll let you know how it goes...
Happy quilting!!
