Beautiful work! I love hand quilting, but only do straight lines. :) I might have to branch out.

I did mark the pattern first. :-) with a disappearing pen. thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Great job!

That's great!

From one hand quilter to another ... job well done!!!

Beautiful quilting.

It looks great!

I love handquilting by my hands just can't do it anymore! :lol:

From what I can see, you have done a great job. I am still dragging my feet on attempting hand quilting. You give me hope.

I think the batting and thread make all the difference. I have tried to do it a couple times, but felt totally frustrated. I was using warm and natural batting and regular thread. I never got past a few stiches and then gave up. This time (after reading things on the board) I used a "puffy" batting and actual hand quilting thread (its kinda thick and stiff). Works MUCH better.

Thanks, I will remember that.

I'm working on my first wallhanging as well. I'm planning on handquilting it. I hand quilt most of my projects, but I wanted to start getting into fans, feathers, flowers and scrolls and wanted something small to showcase the stitches.

Great job!

It's looking great. Keep up the good work and let us know/show us when you're done with your project:)

Great Job!

Very lovely, good job!

very well done.

I am trying to learn it also but I think it is going to be a winter hobby. No time in the summer.

I did this mostly in a long car ride this weekend, 4 hours each way. Perfect way to pass the time. :)

You should be happy with this.

Thank you! I am :)

Nothing wrong with those stitches. Keep up the good work.

Nice work, Please post pics when you get it all done!

awesome attempt! Much better than mine!

Your hand quilting looks really good.

Nice job!

I just got together a small practice project. My friend & I are going to an Amish quilting bee soon. A little nervous about that. LOL

You are off to a great start, your stitches look very, very good to me.

Great job! I find hand quilting very relaxing and rewarding.

Your doing a great job and and most important you're enjoying yourself. I love hand quilting, I find it so relaxing and fulfilling. Happy Quilting :thumbup:
