When you say hand quilter, are you referring to piecing and applique as well as quilting or just the quilting? If it is piecing too, then what type of piecing, if EPP, there are so many patterns and papers available. If she does hand applique then again what type, cotton wool etc.
I do some EPP but do not hand quilt. I bought a packet of needles in Paris in May and although they were expensive, there by far out stitch any that I have bought at home. If someone wanted to purchase a gift certificate to this store for me, I would be over the moon with joy.
