I made some cushions for my Mum and Dad doing needle turn and they are holding up fine! They get sat on (including by the dog!) and washed often because they're a cream background. I also did a border by hand on a lappy for my daughter and that gets dragged everywhere and washed often - no problems! Don't know how they'll be in a hundred years though! :-D But there are loads of ancient quilts in Museums that MUST have been done by hand and they're still here! :-D
