For several years I hand quilted my quilts. However, it took so long and I also loved to piece. So I had a backlog of quilt tops.

I am not very good at FMQing. But, I figured out how to mark a design on paper and follow the design using my domestic sewing machine. Did have an 11 inch harp but still a lot of quilt to handle.

I purchased an 18 inch sit-down machine. I love it. I still use Golden thread paper. I purchase designs (both individual designs and pantographs on line and use photoshop to size them to fit my quilt.

I enjoy doing this as much as I do piecing. I have just finished quilting my last unfinished top.

I admire those of you who have or are mastering FMQing. The quilting is fantastic. However, at age 80 my muscle memory is not what it use to be. This allows me to still enjoy all aspects of quilting.

Here is a sample of one of my finished quilts. Sorry the picture is turned sideways. Sorry the picture is so small. Click on the picture for a better view.
