Woot! Woot! :D I'm so glad there are so many hand quilters out there! I am working on my second quilt and hand appliqued it and hand quilted it! And I loved every second of it! Well, except for trying to get all those squares straight. Now I've got to do the boarder. On my first quilt, it took me two years to get that boarder on - so boring. I find all the hand stitching exciting and relaxing! Talk about therapy - it's so calming. Don't you find this when you hand quilt. (Just turning the sewing machine on and trying to make all those straight lines is enough to send me to the chiropractor to relieve the tension in my shoulders and back :cry: ) Hand quilting is my bag! When my quilt is done, I'll post it.
