I love your hand quilting and I also love machine quilting. I dont think that anyone (especially quilters) dont appreciate all the work that goes into hand quilting (sorry bad grammer but Im tired). Just the opposite. We are in awe. I do have to say that machine quilters, longarmers also are artists and also put alot of work into their quilts. I see alot of hand quilted quilts at shows. We have one coming up next month in the city I live in. I will try to keep track of the HQ ones. Should be interesting. HAPPY QUILTING
