Thanks! It was a hotpad I did and sold to the gift shop I use to sell to. It was 8" finished.
You must do the minis.
I don't think I could do them that small, even by hand piecing. LOL
I have a quilt in the planning for the next one. Need to get it together soon, I am a hand quilter only. LOL
Yes I am a miniaturist. I dont' make the big quilts. I have made 4 large quilts but one top was never backed or quilted. I prefer the minis. They give me alot of variety and they sell well.
Hand quilting fascinates me but I could never get the hang of it. I want to stitch as I would for a satin embroidery stitch. I hand stitched seams that way for years and it is a habit to sew that way. Being able to rock a needle to do that many stitches is something I find hard to do. I hate thimbles for one thing. I used to use the side of one finger for a thimble. It is still thick skin there even tho I dont' do it anymore. I have no problem taking my blood sugar because I don't feel the prick in that finger all that much due to my former sewing habits! LOL
