I love this board! Your quilts are absolutely gorgeous!
I am new to quilting and am enjoying learning to hand quilt. I love the quilting process. I love the slowness and quiet that comes with hand quilting...very meditative. I do notice when I walk into the LQS (if they are a machine dealer) and I say I hand quilt the "clerks" do not seem as interested in helping. And I am finding out that it is difficult in my area to find hand quilting classes. But I will continue hand quilting.
Thanks for the added motivation and encouragement.
