I mostly machine quilt. I am not looking to make a national treasure or anything my family would hand down to generations from me. I love piecing most of all, just love seeing how those squares and triangles turn out. I have an 82 year old woman who has done now about 10 quilts for me on her long arm and they are just outstanding. None of these cost more than $50 and that was a King size quilt. I do handquilt and handpiece but not much. It's just not my thing to do it and now that my eye sight is so much worse, I doubt I will do much at all. I use to love seeing hand quilted pieces but now the work done by some long armers is just outstanding. I am very happy doing what I do and apparently so are the recipients of my gifts.
