Try Cindy Blackburn's website. She does hand piecing.

I've done one large quilt and a couple of miniature quilts by hand. It was at a time when I was commuting and had a lot of time away from the machine. After that though, I switched to crocheting and knitting and only do applique by hand. I can't see well enough to thread a needle without a device and bright light. The problems of getting older!

:thumbup: a couple of my bee members hand-pieced hexagons for a grandmother's flower garden and then the aunt of one of them handquilted the tops -- beautiful quilts!!-- these are women who generally do all by machine!!

I think I do, but I haven't talked to her for years and don't plan to. She is probably still hand quilting and does beautiful work.

Jenny Beyer is well known for doing hand piecing. There are a lot of quilters especially if they participate in having their quilts judged in a major quilt show do the binding by hand. I still do it that way because of the professional look it gives a quilt. I HOPE that my quilts will show up on the Antique Roadshow in 2075. :)

In my quilting group their are two ladies who do everything by hand and they keep right up with us. They are amazing and their work is beautiful.
I like to do hand work but never made a whole quilt this way. |
I'm on my second English Paper Pieced quilt this year. http://www.katjasquiltshoppe.com/the...uilt-along.htm
When my hands were younger I also hand quilted my quilts. If we were in a hurry we could buy a blanket. |
I started an BOM with my LQS using one of Eleanor Burns books (we had to buy the book in order to participate). It was a 12-block sample, and I decided to hand piece and hand quilt it. I got a lot of help from YouTube videos when it came to intersecting seams and other techniques. I never finished the piecing, but need to locate it just for my own satisfaction.
