Wasn't that tiny little circle the most amazing thing you've ever seen in applique? And that quilt with the thousands of TINY appliqued leaves? It looked like three or four leaves would fit on a dime - can you imagine?!

I ordered the applique book and DVD and then started looking at her hand quilting stuff and ended up ordering her needles, thimble, quilting book and DVD, threads and cotton satin the next day.

She promises that you'll be able to get 12-16 stitches per inch in one day of concentrated practice - we'll see. I really would love to do fine hand quilting - I tried the Aunt Becky and deep well thimble and that is okay - but I definitely did not progress beyond "utility" stitching with the one pillow top that I made.
