Hi I like tying too! My grandmother made quilts and tyed them too.Am stil a beginner-in between. Still learning! Gonna try Perle cotton as I have used yarn and it is ok but does not seem to wash well. I so admire hand or machine quilting but it is not my cup of tea! Well, I prefer coffee! LOL~! Take care! I so love reading and learning from everyone on this board! Love to see everyone's work too! Eddie's work is amazing and lovely!
