How nice. That's a group I'd like to join. Some hand quilters. The quilt you're are working on looks beautiful.
Around here they look at you like you're nuts when you say, "I hand quilt most thing". I was told in one quilt shop where I went to purchase something, "don't say that four letter word".
Another shop I went into, didn't have ANY hand quilting thread and told me it was all the same. NOT!
