I know when I see your posts that I'm going to be looking at something fantastic, and you've done it again. Simply beautiful.

I have to ask. The edges look different ... does this quilt have a traditional binding or did you finish the edges differently? It could be a trick of the photo, but I don't see a binding.

OMG beautiful

amazing! congratulations on the prizes - well deserved!

OMG!!! That is BREATHTAKING. I would love to be able to do that kind of handwork. It's just beautiful.

Awesome work. Congratulations on your awards.

Sue, you are right - the quilt does not have a binding. I always close my quilts in the traditional way quilters from Wales and Northern England did it: with the knife edge. When the quilting is finished I cut all three layers back to the same length (1 inch apart from the outermost quilting line). Next I shorten the batting 1/2 inch. The "seam allowance" of the backing is now folded around the edge of the batting, the top fabric is also folded to the inside. Than I sew a line of simple running stitches to close the edges. Very simple - but effective. It fits perfectly to that kind of quilts and it's the traditional "British" way of closing them.

I'm just in awe every time I see your work and to think you do this one stitch at a time , I'm just so amazed at your talent!!!

you should be very proud, it is beautiful

Absolutely stunning! What a masterpiece!!!

Beautiful job!! Also the fact you did it by hand makes it better!:)

No wonder you won-It is truly a work of art!! Your handquilting is perfectly done!

Andrea, Born to handquilt. This couldn't be more right on. The quilt is totally awesome. Beautiful work. BrendaK

Exceptionally beautiful! The quilting is fabulous, and congratulations on your wins!

Spectacular quilt.

Omg that is beautiful----any suggestions for a novice handquilter who wants to learn? Did ulearn by videos, classes or self taught?

Absolutely breath taken! I can not believe how good that looks. Had to stare at the pictures for a minute.

I am completely self taught. At the time when I started hand quilting 23 years ago there were no videos or classes here in my area. I learned from books and by trial and error. The only suggestion I can give is to find your own way of quilting, find the notions that works for you and practice, practice, practice. One thing still helps a lot: I don't have to spend much time on piecing the tops and finding the right fabrics. I can focus on the hand quilting! :)

I couldn't agree more! What a gorgeous quilt! Congrats on your ribbons! Wow!

WOW! WOW! WOW!! Absolutely gorgeous! You deserved the awards!

I would love to live next door to you --would love to watch you hand quilt and perhaps learn something from you. You do the most beautiful hand work EVER.

What a beauty. You deserve all the ribbons..the hand quilting is breathtaking..keep up the magnificent handwork.

You were born to quilt for sure. Stunning work!
