I love all parts of the quilting process, but I prefer to hand quilt anything that is lap size or bigger quilt. Though there are very talented long arm quilters out there, I also could never send one to them. I would feel disconnected from my quilt. My enjoyment is major to me, because with other things in life I have enough stress. My philosophy with what I sew/quilt is to improve/learn new skills with every thing I create, but I have no place in there for quilt police.
