I do both. If it is for the ages, I hand quilt. If I want the quilt to be well loved I machine quilt. I don't like to hand quilt baby/children's quilts, am afraid that the mom won't let the child "bond" with it.

I hand quilt. And my favorite thing now is to hand quilt old quilt tops so they are finally finished and can be loved by someone!
|
Where do you find old quilt tops?
|
I have some that have been given to me, some from garage sale finds and estate sale finds.
|
I do both depends on the quilt. if i want a better finish and a softer look i hand quilt.my machine quilting isn't that great. maybe when i get better at free motion quilting on a regular machine i will quilt them all.

I hand quilt also, but last week tried to do some machine quilting.. do not have the knack for it, but I will keep practicing on the machine. I will probably always hand quilt unless I start making my own baby quilts for project linus. those need to be machine quilted or tied. I will find out more about that next month when I go to a meeting. I just love to hand quilt as it is relaxing for me. I also started hand piecing a quilt for my stepson.

I do some hand quilting and some I send out to a LAQer...
I am dying to know though, what is spoon quilting? |

I can hand piece and quilt while sitting watching/listening to the tv, sitting with my DH, and take it along when we travel. And I machine piece and quilt upstairs in my own little private world. Life is good when I have a place to go to escape from the DH too!!
