And the sewing lines are printed on the back of the fabric! Just follow the dotted line..
I've just started to really enjoy handwork, too. It started when I saw some beautiful hand embroidered quilts at the Paducah show last spring, and bought patterns. I made two! Then I started a needleturn applique Hawaiian quilt. The hand sewing is so relaxing, as long as the light is good and the eyes hold out! Haven't yet hand pieced a quilt block, but I would imagine that is fun too.
