First off I bow to your superior talent. It is a sad day when handquilting is not recognized at quilt shows separately from machine quilting as it is an entirely different technique that was the start of quilting as we know it. I am a beginner and have so much to learn. I have taken a handquilting course and plan on someday handquilting a quilt. This year has been devoted to piecing accurately and learning to quilt free motion. I recognize that my talent is limited only by my own efforts. Your quilts are exquisite. Nothing anywhere can match your precise stitches. That must be why the manufacturers are attempting to get stitches that look "handmade". Be proud of your talent and show it off as much as you can. Thank you for posting as you're an inspiration to all of us.
