Picking up after long hiatus

Aloha from Conway, South Carolina!

So thrilled to have found this board! I'm returning to quilting after 25+ year hiatus. Life takes turns, you know. I was never very prolific - a few wall hangings and only 1 full sized quilt. I learned to quilt in Amish/Mennonite country, where almost everything was hand quilted, and now I discover the trend is towards machine quilting. Are any of you hand quilting?

I am really looking forward to meeting you all & using this forum!

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I do mostly machine quilting now but there are several hand quilters on QB.
