I'm mostly a hand quilter. I've done a couple of things by machine, mostly charity quilts that require it but otherwise I hand quilt. I find handwork - no matter what type - very relaxing. I'm able to do it while watching TV with DH so I still get sewing done while he's home. I usually reserve my machine sewing for when he's out so we have what few waking hours together when we're not doing something else.
