Hello from London
 

Hi,

I am a self-taught hand quilter from London. I have recently finished my first project (attached) which has taken me about 3 years but I have realised I am now missing it and want to do more!

I have realised that I have a lot to learn as I think I concentrated more on the piecing than quilting and there are things I would change about this one but it was a learning curve. I can embroider etc well but am looking for inspiration and ideas/tips to improve my hand sewing and for a more unusual design next.

Hello & welcome from Texas. Your quilt is beautiful & thank you for sharing it with us. You will find so much help & encouragement from this board. Everyone is ready & willing to help with any questions you may have.

Hello and welcome from Mississippi! What a pretty quilt... I found that my hand quilting got better looking when I got rid of the hoop! Now I hand quilt without any frame or hoop at all.

Thanks to you both! I didn't use a hoop or frame which may have been part of the problem. The piecing took a very long time as I used card hexagons and I think I probably 'oversewed' everything.

Very nice.....I love grandmothers flower gardens. Such pretty flowers.

Welcome from western NY and happy quilting :)
beautiful quilt!

Welcome from metro Atlanta, Georgia. Your quilt is beautiful!!

Welcome from New Jersey. I'm a self-taught hand quilter as well. I normally machine piece but have hand pieced a few quilts as well. Those are certainly labors of love. Yours is beautiful.
