I like to do the whole thing, from plotting a new project, sizing the block to hand or machine piecing it. I sandwich it and then, usually hand quilt.
It does make my out put low in numbers, but I find it so therapeutic. And yes, a few do stay with me. But of those that have left home, I do have lovely photos to remind me and as they go to family or very good friends, I can visit.
Occasionaly, they visit me - a repair is needed!
