I have been reading posts for awhile and decided to get in on the fun...The work shown is great and the heart of them all shines through. My quilt room has turned into a storage room while I re-arrange two other rooms. I cant get to anything! :( But it makes me focus on a quilt for my brother...I have only been working on it for 4 years! I do all my appliqué by hand and quilt by hand. I have told the family members who are waiting on 'their quilts' that they may have to settle for machine quilting if they ever want to see them! :D
