In todays world not many people have the time to make quilts by hand I love hand applique and quilting but most of my quilts are done on the machine and I love doing that too I do like to mix my media so to speak I hand applique on a machine sewn and quilted quilt If it wasnt for doing quilts by machine I might have 1 finished a year if Iam lucky By machine I have the ones I want plus some for charities and family
