I love handquilting. It is something I can do while watching TV, listening to music or talking with friends. It relaxs me. I have been doing a lot of simple machine quilting using decorative stitches for the Linus Project. I also usually machine quilt items for other people who are not quilters. I just finished my 18th Linus quilt this month on my machine and my neck is stiff. I will be putting heat on it before I can sleep. I presently only have one small 24" by 23" white on white wholecloth piece to handquilt. I take it to our little Bee that meets everyother week and quilt while we chat. I need to put together a quilt top so that I can get something on my frame now that cooler weather seems to be here. I learned long ago to work under a time pressure. It is a curse in a way. My idenity mpspeedy describes how I do things. Many years ago I was a lab tech. We recieved shipments of speciams several times a day. It was always a rush to complete each shipment as we did not know what the next one would bring. I rarely have UFOs around unless I am getting a few projects together to take to my annual quilt retreat.
