I sincerely admire the skill and perseverance it takes to do hand quilting. I think it's lovely but I'm not sure I'll ever even try it myself because I'm pretty sure whichever quilt I start quilting by hand will never, ever get finished!
|
Very nice!!!
|
Your stitches are beautiful! I love to hand quilt. When I get my mojo back I'm going to get something together.
|
What a difference time has made! Beautiful even stitches!
|
Thank you so much! It means a great deal to hear these words from others who also quilt.

Beautiful stitches! I keep thinking that I will try hand quilting, but I do hate to fail!:p
|
I'm still on the tan stage but you give me hope, lovely hand quilting.

I do enjoy hand stitching but once when walking around a show with one of my quilts in I heard this comment about my quilt.
" no wonder she didn't win anything leaving all those tacking stitches in. " Tacking is basting in US. I was very upset and have not put a quilt into a big show since. I didn't win because the judges disliked my colour combinations . |
Your stitch has really improved. Just goes to show practice makes perfect
