Hello, I am or was a quilter. Still have all my stuff. I was looking for a forum for a quilty friend and found this awesome site.
I do have a question. Does anyone hand quilt any more? I went to the county fair and all the quilts were machine done. All very beautiful, but I was dissapointed that not one entry hand done. Am I outdated with this idea? I love the hand work involved. I still have one in the hoop and another folded but ready to go back int the frame. I didn't finish them because stuff happens. So guess I'm still in progress!

I entered a hand quilted one in the fair and won a blue ribbon.

Hello and welcome from Ontario Canada. Yes, I still hand quilt. I prefer it to machine quilting. I am in the middle of hand quilting a queen size log cabin quilt for my son for Christmas. It's a long process but I will eventually get it done.

Welcome to the board from central Minnesota and yes I only do hand quilting. I expressed the same comment several years ago when our local quilt group had a show and the majority of the quilts were machine quilted.

Hi! Welcome to the board.

Hi from SE Minnesota! I still love to hand quilt, and would do more if I had the time. Four or five years ago I realized that the stack of tops would never be finished, so I taught myself to machine quilt. It did free me up to quilt more of them, and save the very special ones to hand quilt. It also made me more willing to part with them. I have spent up to a year hand quilting a quilt and would get kind of attached to them, especially when I also hand pieced them! At the rate of 1 per year the bucket list wasn't going to empty - ever (not that it will anyway)...

Welcome from Missouri. I was born before machine quilting and I still love the look of a hand quilted quilt. I have always machine pieced though.

Welcome from S.E. Texas! :)

Hello, welcome to the board from Minnesota! I don't hand quilt. I have done it, but have trouble finding a thimble that really fits me. I love hand quilting and would enjoy seeing your work.
