I machine piece, but love to hand quilt (and I don't do tiny stitches either). I can watch TV or be companionable in the car or RV when I'm hand quilting, and I really enjoy it. Have been working on a sashiko style piece lately- I want to get it done so I can show you all. It is not like anything I ever did before. I'm also finishing a baby quilt for my granddaughter that has a lot of hand appliques, and an embroidered dedication on the back which I am stitching. (I can't do only one thing at a time!) Keep on stitchin' whatever way works for you is what I say!!
