I hand quilt. Hand embroider. I have an old boss, and when he says "bring your book", I know I'm in for a session of shorthand, yep! shorthand still- (I smuggle a small recorder in my pocket, though, cuz he talks really fast). I love to hand quilt whole cloth stuff, up to king size, in a frame on my lap. Don't really care how long it takes me because I'm not doing it for the finished product, just for the process. I tried to quilt one by machine once. Fugly thing that was, lawsy me, and I didn't enjoy doing it.
