Well Elsie, two years is not long--mine has been ongoing for 6 years. I have made quilts and quilted projects in between that time and just pick the GFG up when at doctor appointments with my husband, etc. or watching sports on TV. I, too, love the handquilting part of quilting. I did get away from hand piecing but that was fun too; however, not as fast. Will send a picture if I can figure out how to do that. It looks like you go to "Img" and insert.
