I would love some help with easy pattern ideas and hand piecing and hand quilting advice.

Thank you!
Welcome from New Hampshire!
I too find hand piecing very relaxing. I have a 45 minute drive to and from work each day.....my DH drives and I quilt!
You can find a wealth of free simple patterns on the internet, just do a search and explore!
Happy quilting!
