My Mother, the Quilter, Is Impressed With My FMQ!!
My 97 year old mother lives about 4.5 hours from me. I visited her over the weekend and took my current project and a completed quilt to show her. My mother was a dressmaker and started hand quilting about 15 years ago. She was very impressed with my FMQ and the detail. I explained to her how it's done. I have tried hand quilting and had problems putting the needle through the sandwich. She was one of those women who went to church twice a week to hand quilt. Her statement was "Look at all of this, it's really something. We just sat there moving the needle in and out." I think it's impressive being able to move the needle in and out!
